Re-read the texts
2. Get blank copies of the texts we have focused on in class and practice annotating (poems can be easily found online)
3. Go through the many, many useful resources on the VLE
4. Practice IOC openings for each potential text
5. Make sure you know the stimulus text or story for each Duffy poem
6. Learn key/ relevant information about the Vietnam war to set The Things they Carried in context
7. Make a list of useful discourse markers to use to structure your IOC – however, furthermore, in addition, next, in contrast etc.
8. Re-listen to the model IOC on Little Red Cap on the VLE
9. Create IOC plans for each of the texts you have studied
10. Make sure you can identify and comment on the effect of at least 10 literary features in each of the texts – mark them in red in your text
11. Get together with another student and listen to each other deliver an IOC – what questions would you ask?
12. Try to think about the possible guiding questions for each of the poems you have studied – how could you use them?
•The assessment is a critical examination of an extract approximately 40 lines long drawn from one of the Part 4 works that have been studied
•There are two guiding questions to help you comment on the extract
•You then have 20 minutes to prepare on your own, during which you can annotate the extract and make notes to help you deliver your IOC. You cannot consult your own copy of the text, your notes or anyone else
•The commentary must be a literary analysis of approx 10 minutes in length, plus 5 minutes of follow up questions from the teacher
•The commentary is recorded and samples are sent to IB for moderation
