WORLD+LIT+2+ASSIGNMENT

=HOW LONG?=

As with WL1, the word limit is 1500 words. This is an instruction, not a suggestion!

=WHICH TEXTS?=

The texts: you have read, or will have read, FIVE World Literature texts They are

//**Perfume The Sailor who Fell from Grace with the Sea The Sorrow of War (or The Lost Honour of Katharina Blum) Oedipus Rex The House of Bernarda Alba**//

Basic idea: avoid double dipping. Whichever novels you have used in your first assignment are off-limits for this one. You CAN re-use texts (Bernarda Alba) which were used for your IOP. Some of the assignments offer the option of using one World Lit text and one 'English A1' text; basically, an English A1 text is everything APART from the five World Literature texts listed above.

=WAH, SO MUCH CHOICE! WHICH ONE SHOULD I DO?=

I don't know! A really important part of the IB course as a whole involves becoming a self-reliant learner. You need to be able to recognise what mode of writing you are best at and what you are likely to enjoy the most. Personally, I'm always impressed by students who push the envelope somewhat... obviously, however, this involves some degree of risk. But hey, it's only coursework; it's not life-and-death. Live a little!

But, importantly, check with your teacher BEFORE you commit to anything. Teachers should NOT be helping you with the content, but they SHOULD check that what you are proposing is viable and that it satisfies the labyrinthine demands of the IBO.
