Revising Set Texts through Characters
As exams approach, the knowledge that we have limited lesson time remaining with our classes is often accompanied by that nagging feeling that there is still a great deal we would like our students to know and understand about their set texts. If your chosen genre is Drama or Prose Novel, this revision strategy focusing on characters is a very time-efficient and effective way to get a class revising set texts and sharing notes in the weeks leading up to the exams.

The site offers an engaging and imaginative approach to IB English - clear and informative it would be of use to both new and experienced teachers alike.
An excellent and invaluable site that will make the teaching of IB Literature both fun and engaging for students and teachers. The quality and quantity of material, tips and resources is impressive.
I wish I'd had something like this when I first started teaching IB Lit!

Hi Anna. If she just focuses on Kendrick Lamar, this would be a Category 3 essay (see above), as his lyrics would not be classified as a "literary work" on this course. We have not really covered Cat 3 essays on this site as they are not...

HL Paper 2 exemplar: Prose, novel and short story (The English Patient and Atonement)Hi Jennifer. Not sure I understand - the question is at the top of the page and is about writers "who adapt or import historical material" into their works, which the essay is clearly answering. Are you looking at a different question? -

HL Paper 2 exemplar: Prose, novel and short story (The English Patient and Atonement)Hi, Does the question fit the essay. My students and I have used this as a practice and we think the question is more about journeys. Thank you, Jennifer Ericson -
You may well be right, Jacob - examiners often seem reluctant to give full marks (partly because of the seeding system, which requires them to be "within tolerance" of the senior examiner's mark and which therefore makes giving full marks something...

I think this essay should achieve full marks, certainly on language. It feels like two marks were deducted for the sake of not awarding full marks.
