  1. WL Paper 2 Biotechnology High School An IB World School

  2. You have three options for this paper. • Option a:Comparative study - This is like WL 1, but with different books • Which books can I use for Option a? WL 2

  3. You must use one WL book • You cannot use a WL book you already used for WL 1 • So, you can use The Metamorphosis, The Stranger, OR the book you did not use on WL 1. WL 2, Option a

  4. Ok, so what am I comparing with the WL work? • Any one of the following: • Pride and Prejudice • Slaughterhouse-Five • One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest • Hamlet • The Fire Next Time • Life of Pi • Not a 2nd WL work!!! WL 2, Option a

  5. What if I’m sick of comparative studies? We just did one for WL 1. • Not to worry - there are other choices. WL 2

  6. Creative assignment - Think IOP, but written and only on 1 or 2 works • Which works? WL 2, Option b

  7. You must use 1 WL work • The Metamorphosis • The Stranger • The one you did NOT use for WL 1 WL 2, Option b

  8. What if I want to use a second work? • You can use 1 of: • Pride and Prejudice • Slaughterhouse-Five • One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest • Hamlet • The Fire Next Time • Life of Pi • Not a 2nd WL work!!! • **Keep in mind that the assignment is MUCH more difficult with 2 works** WL 2, Option b

  9. What else do I need to know about the creative option? • It’s harder to do a creative WL paper (it’s scored on the same rubric as the others, so you have to make sure it fits the categories). It can also be really rewarding if you love creative writing • You need to accompany it with a Statement of Intent to explain why your creative piece has value. It’s a rationale. WL 2, Option b

  10. What not to do: • Characters from two works meeting in a random place and having a discussion; ie: Nora and Cunegonde talking about their husbands in a supermarket • A diary entry or dramatic monologue that only paraphrases statements from the work • **So, you must show knowledge of and insight into the work’s literary features WL 2, Option b

  11. Ideas for what you can do: • Develop an extra scene for something that is mentioned but not seen in the work • Turning the “story” or part of it into another form such as dramatic monologue, poem, or folk tale • A transcription of an imaginary interview with the author about the work in question WL 2, Option b

  12. Detailed study - A formal essay, analysis of a key passage, or commentary on an extract (Think IOC, but written) • An essay should have an argument. It’s like WL1 but only focuses on 1 work. • A commentary should focus on stylistic choices made by the author and the effect of these choices • The extract should be about 30 lines WL 2, Option c

  13. A key passage needs to make it clear why the passage is key and how it relates to the larger work as a whole. This option is also an essay. • The passage can be a paragraph, a page, or a chapter • You can actually use two key passages from the same work - then it becomes like a comparative paper • No two students can use the same key passage, so this choice may be more difficult WL 2, Option c

  14. If doing a commentary or a key passage essay, you must provide the passage/extract you are using. • ***You may not use the same passage/extract as someone else.*** WL 2, Option c

  15. What work can I use? • You can only use ONE of the following: • The Metamorphosis • The Stranger • The other WL book you did NOT use for paper 1. WL 2, Option c

  16. How much do these count towards my IB grade? • Each WL paper counts for 10%. • Part One of the course makes up 20% of your IB grade. WL 1 and WL 2

  17. What’s my word count? • The same as WL1: 1000-1500 words • No, the passage/extract does NOT count towards that. • Yes, the statement of intent (2b) DOES count towards that. Word Count

  18. Don’t repeat your aspect from WL1. • So, if you did symbolism for WL1, you can’t do symbolism for WL2 • If you did characterization, you can’t for this. • Theme, etc. One more thing…
