CONCLUSION:

NOTES: Your extracts need to meet the IB criteria. Your IO can be comparative but doesn’t have to be - however, it must be balanced. You will bring unannotated copies of your extracts to the individual oral along with this
outline. If you choose to work on a translated non-literary text, the translation used must be professionally published translations- students translations are not allowed. The main entry point into the extracts must be how the
global issue manifests itself in the two extracts- what is the point of connection? Demonstrate your knowledge & understanding of the extracts’ content, form & of how meaning about the global issue is constructed. Avoid
focusing on contexts (historical, biographical, socio-cultural) not directly linked to the global issue. Sustain focus on the prompt throughout and use clear/accurate language. Do not speak past 10 minutes. 5 minutes discussion
will follow.
