Language A: Literature HL Written Assignments 25% of overall grade
Students produce an analytical essay with reflective statement based on one work (novel) studied in Part One of the course: Texts in Translation. The goal of the process is to produce an analytical, literary essay on a topic generated by the student and developed from one of the pieces of supervised writing.
Reflective statement 300-400 words in length
Essay: 1200-1500 worlds in length
Works studied this year in Part One [2015-16]:
· One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich by Alexander Solzhenitsyn
· Kitchen by Banana Yamomoto
· The Stranger by Albert Camus
There are five criteria used to assess students’ work.
Following each criterion is the descriptor used by IB examiners to define “mastering” that aspect.
A. Fulfilling the requirement of the reflective statement: to what extent does the student show how their understanding of cultural and contextual elements was developed through the interactive oral? (3 marks)
B. Knowledge and understanding: how effectively has the student used the topic and the essay to show knowledge and understanding of the chosen work? (6 marks)
C. Appreciation of the writer’s choices: to what extent does the student appreciate how the writer’s choices of language, structure, technique and style shape meaning? (6 marks)
D. Organization and development: how effectively have the ideas been organized, and how well are references to the works integrated into the development of ideas? (5 marks)
E. Language: how clear, varied and accurate is the language? How appropriate is the choice of register, style and terminology? [Register, in this context, refers to the student’s use of elements such as vocabulary, tone, sentence structure and terminology appropriate to the task] (5 marks)
