IB Ban-quoting | IOC Practice
Hello Friends,
This week I took it upon myself to complete a daunting task - The Practice IOC.
My Planning:
Self Grade:
A) Knowledge and Understanding of the text or extract: 8
I think I showed a good understanding of the play in my commentary. I was able to show that I had knowledge of Macbeth's situation, especially when referring to the prophecy, which also helped with developing my argument of the supernatural's influence and impact of Macbeth's thought process and decision making. Also, this play was my favorite thing we have read so far in class, which could have contributed to my knowledge and understanding of it.
B) Understanding of the use of and effect of literary features: 6
For this criteria, I think I did a good job specifying which features I wanted to address. However, I did not fully develop them to the best of my ability, instead I kept reiterating a different part of my argument rather than fully exploring the effect of the technique on the extract.
C) Organization: 4
The planning helped with my organization, especially helping me to move on to different points of my argument and not rambling on one particular point. Yet, there were some spots of the commentary that I thought I could have organized better to make my overall argument stronger.
D) Language: 4
I think I was clear and coherent, but I said "um" as a place holder while I was thinking about my response.
I think you did a good job with the contextualization of both the play and the history surrounding it. I liked who you looked at the asides and came to a conclusion of what they are used for and then using examples to support this. I also think you did a good job choosing literary techniques such as diction to look at the decisions and decision making of Macbeth. Good luck on the real IOC, you’ll do great!
ReplyDeleteI think that you were mostly accurate in your grading of yourself. I thought that you did a great job demonstrating a level of knowledge and understanding in your practice IOC. I don't agree with your grading of yourself based on the literary figures in your passage because I thought that you did a great job developing those claims. Overall you did a great job.

ReplyDelete- Evidence of structure and organization; good thesis. Be sure you keep linking back to those key ideas to prove how they are developed in the passage
- Make sure you are really looking at the passage ONLY- there are places where you are kinda veering into "book club"- this happens a lot with Shakespeare because we think rephrasing = analysis.
- I agree with your feedback to yourself about thinking about author's purpose/effect on reader.
A: 6
B: 6
C: 3
D: 4
Mady, your IOC practice great! I really liked how you were able to identify your techniques in your intro/thesis. You did a great job in planning out your response in your prep time. You definitely showed your knowledge and understanding very well by giving us some context about Macbeth as well as the passage itself. I thought you precisely graded yourself, and you had a lot of strengths in constructing your response. Your IOC Practice helped me a lot because the structure you chose was very strong. Overall, great work!
