Soooooo...I did my IOC on the extract that was included in packet you gave us from Never Let Me Go. I couldn't figure out how to upload it (Idk how I'm a digital media and film student?) so I just sent it to you via email. Here's my grades and justification.
Criterion A: Knowledge and understanding of the text or extract
I gave myself a 5 for this one because I think I showed adequate understanding of the extract itself and its context within the larger text. However, I didn't mention anything about the socio-cultural or historical context of the novel.
Criterion B: Understanding of the use and effects of literary features
I think I scored a solid 7 on this part because I did a pretty good job of picking out 3 apparent literary elements the author uses and analyzing its significance to the text and how it affects the audience. I also connected them back to the author's intention. I probably could have gone a little deeper in some parts, but I think my analysis was fairly detailed for most of it.
Criterion C: Organization:
My structure could have definitely been a little more coherent so I gave myself a 2. My commentary got a little difficult to follow in a few parts because I kept having to go back and add things that I had forgotten in previous parts.
Criterion D: Language
I think I got a 3 here because there were times where I used simpler vocabulary where I could have used more sophisticated. However, when I discussed literary devices, I do feel like my language was a lot more varied (and actually sounded like I've taken 2 years of IB English lol).
