The Individual Oral <\/strong>is a ten-minute oral analysis that examines how a literary work and a non-literary body of work frame a global issue. Students should maintain a balance between discussions of extracts of the literary work and the non-literary body of work and discussions of each as a whole. The focus needs to be on how the global issue is presented, represented, or explored in each work and sustained throughout the whole IO. After the student speaks for ten minutes, the teacher has five minutes to ask them questions about the global issue and the works. The individual oral is internally assessed and externally moderated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Goal: Defining Superior Performance<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Below you will find the rubric language used to define superior student performance with respect to each of the four criteria. To support every one of your students in achieving this level of performance, they will need ample practice speaking the language of literary interpretation in class. This analysis is formal and carefully structured. Students will be able to use ten bullet points to organise their arguments during the oral. You can download a copy of the bullet points template here. You can find a one-page version of the complete rubric here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exemplar: Literary and Non-literary Extracts<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Global issue:<\/strong> Representations and explorations of the global Covid-19 health crisis<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The literary extract found below, \u201cSuffering Like Mel Gibson,\u201d was drawn from a collection of essays by Zadie Smith: Intimations<\/a>. Smith is on the IBDP Prescribed Reading List<\/a>. The non-literary extract is by Richard McGuire. His body of work can be found on Toddle\u2019s Database of Non-literary Bodies of Work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exemplar: Annotated Texts<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Students are not permitted to use annotated texts during their orals, but they will certainly annotate their extracts as they build them. It\u2019s vitally important that students identify at least two specific examples in each extract they can connect with their global issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exemplar: Bullet Points<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This form<\/a> is available from the IB. You can find a blank, editable version of the document here<\/a>. Typically, students speak between 1800-2200 words during the ten-minute, student-led portion of the individual oral. The printed bullet points used in this exemplar contain about 400 words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students should consider including the following in their bullet points:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
