MYI is a 1-week pilot, preparatory program covering the skills needed to succeed in the Language & Literature program at IB schools. This program is intended for students of the IB Programme who are self, motivated independent readers. The maximum class size will be 5 students for 2022.

For students grade 9 and lower, they will prepare a literary essay outline and first draft. For grade 10 and up, they will prepare a comparative literary essay outline and first draft.

What is the structure of the day?

There will be a maximum class size of 5 students for the week-long workshop, and 2-3 hours of homework given per day. Children will also be given reading assignments (ex. A book or set of poems)  in November to have finished by the first day of class. They do not need to do prior analysis, just reading over the text.

2022 MYIL Topic
Paper 2: Analyzing Poetry and Short-form Fiction

Focus Writer: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (pictured)

In this course, students will learn techniques like annotation, as well as critical thinking concepts, that will help them identify the elusive author’s message. They will learn to outline and draft an essay with materials provided by the Lab.

Students in this course will be practice class discussion in a Socratic seminar format. This will help them collaboratively build evidence and analysis to use in their individual essays.

The instructor will provide ongoing, personalized feedback for each day of work. By the end of the week, students have usually completed a first or second draft of a literary analysis paper.
