  2. Structure • 1 Hour • HL 20% • SL 30% • Answer 4 questions on 1 of 3 Prescribed Topics • Mark out of 25

  4. Question 1 • Generally the worst done of the questions • Careless points dropped • If it is worth 3 points - write 3 points • There will be more background info given for the visual/cartoon sources

  5. Question 2 • Statistically the best done • Integrated approach is the best • Discourage bullet points • Compare and contrast with good linkage

  6. Question 3 • Don’t link the two sources • OPVL point-form is OK • Don’t note that it being a translation is a limitation • Don’t note that it being an excerpt is a limitation • Stay away from “primary” & “secondary” • “Secondary source” is often noted as a limitation - false • Think in terms of “What can the source tell me and what can’t the source tell me?” for strengths and limitations • Note when relevant background of writer

  7. Question 4 • BOTH knowledge & sources must be used • Don’t waste time writing an introduction and conclusion - thesis is good • Relate everything back to the question • Determine your point of view (thesis) and stick to it

  8. General Strategies • Don’t quote at length, but reference the docs • Note how origin impacts truthfulness • Stay away from mere paraphrasing repetition or summary of docs . . . • Focus on interpretation & analysis • Allot time roughly based on point value
