IO reflection questions
Criterion A: Knowledge, understanding, and interpretation
How did they introduce the oral? Did it include a specific explanation of a global issue? Did it include a summary of the extract and its connection to the greater text
with a clear connection to the global issue? Did the thesis provide a concise and engaging interpretive path through the extract and the global issue? How well did they
explain the evidence from the extract? Did the discussion of the evidence develop a clear understanding and interpretation of the extract and the text through the
global issue? Did the conclusion extend the interpretation, reconnecting the text as a whole and to a thoughtful expansion of the global issue?

Woo Chang thoroughly explained the evidence he chose and made connections with the global issue he chose. He also provided good explanation of the global issue and
a clear understanding throughout the io.

Criterion B: Analysis and evaluation

- While you listen, make a list of the features discussed. Was there a wide array of features discussed? Was the effect and significance of the features clearly and
purposely developed - toward thesis and topic development (global issue)? Did they evaluate the strengths and limitations of the authorial choices in the
presentation of the global issue?

Literary devices

Criterion C: Focus and organization

- Did they signpost the thesis and topics? Did the thesis and topics develop a clear and purposeful path through the extract? Did they avoid repetition and
develop a cohesive argument in the topics, using evidence and explanation effectively? Were their ideas connected, from the opening framing of the global issue
to the closing arguments? Reflect on their use of evidence and explanation.
The organization is very clear and his structure is easy to follow with

Criterion D: Language
- Was your language clear? Did they use appropriate word choice and sentence structure? Did they use analytical language? Were they able to accurately convey
ideas or was it confused or divergent at times?
