[quote=Anonymous]I’m an IB English teacher. I love the program and placed my own children in it. IB English is rigorous and extremely writing focused. There’s a curriculum change on the horizon, but currently students: - read 13 texts over 2 years (Many units end with essays to prep for the course-end assessments) - complete the Higher Level essay, which is literary analysis assessed by IB - complete the Individual Oral, which is a 15 minute oral assessment. (This is a tricky task. Students are only allowed ten bullet points and they must speak for a sustained ten minutes.) - sit for the Paper 1 and Paper 2 exams at the end of senior year The course develops strong writers and critical thinkers. I highly recommend it. [/quote]
