Individual Oral (1)

Your individual oral is a 10 minute monologue followed by 5 minutes of questions in which you answer the following question:

Examine the ways in which the global issue of your choice is presented through the content and form of one of the works and one of the bodies of work that you have studied.

Individual Oral (2)

The individual oral is prepared in advance.  You are allowed to bring to the oral 3 documents:

1.  A one-page A4 outline containing a maximum of 10 bullet points

2. An extract (max. 40 lines) from the non-literary work you want to discuss

3. An extract (max. 40 lines) from the literary work you want to discuss. 

Grading criteria: A (10 points)

• How well does the candidate demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the extracts, and of the work and body of work from which they were taken  to draw conclusions in relation to the global issue?
• How well are ideas supported by references to the extracts, and to the work and body of work?

Grading criteria: B (10 points)

How well does the candidate use his or her knowledge and understanding of each of the extracts and their associated work and body of work to analyse and evaluate the ways in which authorial choices present the global issue?

Grading criteria (C & D) 10 pts ea.

• C: How well does the candidate deliver a structured, well-balanced and focused oral?
  
• C: How well does the candidate connect ideas in a cohesive manner?

• D: How clear, accurate and effective is the language?

Example (1)

You will be listening to an example of an oral recorded last year at another TTO school in The Netherlands.  

The first page is the outline.  The second page contains the two extracts and the recording.  

Example (2)

Although this oral is about a literary work (Brave New World) and a non-literary work (the art of Iranian-American artist Sara Rabhar), pay careful attention to:

1.  How the student balances discussion of the extract and the entirety of both texts.

2.  The detail with which authorial choices are discussed

3. The vocabulary: register, terminology

Outline

This is the outline of the oral you are going to here.
