What are the topics covered in 2023?
Week 1: July 24-28
Paper 2: Strategies for Writing a Quick 5-paragraph Essay
In IB DP Language and Literature, students will be given 90 minutes to write a basic analysis of a given text. This course is a focused, simplified version of the literary analysis expected 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: July 31-August 4
Literary Analysis & 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: August 7-11
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 or poem. As with the IO, presentations will be done 1-on-1 with the instructor at the end of the week.

How is MYI different from the Writing & STEM Intensive?
Writing & STEM Intensive is designed to teach students ages 6 to 12 about the process of writing. Each week, students cover age-appropriate reading skills, writing fundamentals and grammar. This course is designed to help students learn to write flexibly and enthusiastically to prepare them for international school writing programs.
Middle Years Intensive (MYI) will cover the additional writing and analysis skills required by the IB Middle Years Programme and similar programs. Students will learn how to analyze text by professional writers and participate in discussions about those works. These workshops will introduce students to the structure of the MYP Language and Literature program.
