What are the topics covered in 2022?
Week 1:
Paper 1: Strategies for writing an analysis
In IB DP Language and Literature, students will be given 90 minutes to write a basic analysis of a random text. This is different from the typical literary analysis taught for Paper 2. In this class, students will learn techniques like annotation as well as critical thinking concepts that will help them identify the elusive author’s message. They will then learn to outline and draft an essay.

Week 2:
Poetry Analysis
In IB DP Language & Literature, students will analyze multiple poems written by the same author as a “body of work” study. They will need to be able to identify literary devices, analyze their uses and determine the poet’s message in their work. In Week 2, we will teach intermediate literary devices and guide students through the process of written analysis.

Week 3:
Paper 2: The Individual Oral (IO) Presentation
Students will be introduced to the format of presentation given in IB DP Language and Literature. The actual IO is a spoken literary analysis of two different texts (ex. Poem and Youtube video) at the same time, which is quite intimidating to any student. To introduce the structure of this presentation early, students will complete an analysis and practice their presentation of one short story. As with the IO, presentations will be done 1-on-1 with the instructor at the end of the week.
