  1. Individual Oral CommentaryPart 2: Detailed Study

  2. Goal, Process, Assessment • Goal: To analyse a short extract from a studied work and to evaluate the effectiveness of the literary technique in that extract. • Process: Students are required to deliver a structured, focused commentary in a formal spoken register. • Assessment: the IOC is internally assessed and externally moderated by the IB. Recordings are required for moderation. Assessed according to different sets of criteria at SL and HL. A combined mark out of 30, based on four criteria.

  3. SL and HL • The length of the commentary will depend on its complexity, but should be 20-30 lines. In the case of poetry, teachers may use a single complete poem, or a significant extract from a longer poem. Shorter poems may be suitable for commentary if there is sufficient material for comment. So a sonnet would fulfil the requirement? • Students must be given a clean copy of the extract without page numbers, headings, annotations or notes.

  4. SL and HL • Until the start of the preparation period, students must not know the selection or the Part 2 work from which the extract is taken.

  5. Standard Level • Students are assessed on their detailed knowledge of an extract taken from one of the works studied. • 20 minutes preparation time • 10 minutes delivery time • 8 minutes: presentation • 2 minutes: subsequent questions from teacher • The teacher provides two guiding questions for each extract.

  6. SL cont’d • Sample guiding questions: • Drama • What is revealed about the characters through the diction employed? • What role do music / sound / lighting effects have to play in this extract? • Poetry • What is the relationship between the title and the poem itself? • How does the stanza structure reflect the development of the poem’s subject?

  7. Higher Level • HL students are assessed on their detailed knowledge of a poetry extract or a complete poem • 20 minutes preparation time • 20 minutes delivery time • 10 minutes of oral commentary • 8 minutes of presentation • 2 minutes of subsequent questions from teacher • 10 minutes of discussion with teacher • The poem must be accompanied by one or two guiding questions set by the teacher

  8. Higher Level • Discussion • Conducted by the teacher and follows immediately after the individual oral commentary without stopping the recording • The work on which the discussion questions are based must be one of the Part 2 works that was not used for the commentary

  9. HL Oral commentary and discussion • Oral commentary should take 8 minutes • Extracts between 20 - 30 lines • Subsequent questions 2 minutes • No pause between the end of the oral commentary and the discussion • The discussion (on another genre) should take 10 minutes • Total timing 20 minutes

  10. HL Discussion Questions • See p 130-132 in workbook (shared area) • How has the teacher provided a transition from the student’s IOC to the 10-minute discussion on another Part 2 text? • Task: write one or two questions that guide the student smoothly into the “discussion” part of the IOC.

  11. “Standing Female Nude” – HL IOC • Listen to the sample IOC (see p 108 of workbook) • Read along if you wish (p 115-121) • Assess the IOC, using the criteria for HL • Compare your marks to the examiner’s marks
