Internal assessment
This component consists of an individual oral which is internally assessed by the teacher and externally moderated by the IB at the end of the course.
Individual oral (15 minutes)
Supported by an extract from one non-literary text and one from a literary work, students will offer a prepared response of 10 minutes, followed by 5 minutes of questions by the teacher, to the following prompt:
Examine the ways in which the global issue of your choice is presented through the content and form of two of the texts that you have studied. (40 marks)
Field of Inquiry:
Culture, identity and community
Beliefs, values and education
Politics, power and justice
Art, creativity and the imagination
Science, technology and the environment
A global issue incorporates the following three properties:
It has significance on a wide/large scale.
It is transnational.
Its impact is felt in everyday local contexts.
It is important to note that the term global issue need not necessarily be understood as a problem, obstacle or threat; it may also refer to a social phenomenon that is internationally significant but manifests itself in local contexts, such as living in a digital society. Click here for more.

Non Literary Body of Work:
Choosing and Pairing texts
Inductive: the student explores several bodies of work and/or works, notices a common global issue and selects extracts from two of them that best highlight the issue.
Deductive: the student feels passionately about a particular global issue and looks for corresponding extracts from the bodies of work and/or works studied.
UN’s list of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
A student could identify which of those are present in a work, narrowing the focus of the SDGs and finding another work or a body of work to which the issue could be applied.
