This research and revision information is the fifth that I have produced for History Paper 1 over the previous ten years. I have notably loved writing these as source analysis is one thing I've at all times found hugely engaging. Joe learn Modern History at Lincoln College, Oxford and has been educating for 24 years. Joe has taught IB History for the last sixteen years at Malvern College, Worcestershire, England where he oversees its tutorial life as Director of Studies. For fast reference, use the Page Contents field to the suitable - Show the checklist and click on on the textual content type you want to seek the advice of. NB - For easy comfort, the list beneath is predicated on the list of Paper 2 textual content sorts given in the new Language B Subject Guide (first examination 2013); it is organised by alphabetical order. The steerage is meant to amplify and clarify the general descriptions of the marking Criteria, and to point how the standards could also be utilized in the specific tasks involving each text type. In apply, assessing the elemental command of the language system is just not a lot affected by text kind: incorrect grammar, for instance, is detectable regardless of the text type. However, range & selection of language could also be significant. This Criterion ought to deal with how nicely the particular wants of the duty are answered, in terms of the creating, structuring and controlling of concepts, in accordance with the anticipated method of the textual content sort.This Criterion refers to the formal necessities of the textual content type - when it comes to whether or not using conventions make the textual content type recognisable, and are acceptable. Note - In revising this web page, most of the elements of the Language and Message Criteria have remained basically the same. Criterion C Format, however, appears to have a extra restricted scope than the ‘old’ Criterion B Cultural Interaction. Criterion C Format solely refers to ‘conventions’ - does this then cowl register / rhetoric / cohesive units, as specifically talked about within the previous Criterion B ? The time period ‘article’ applies to a really wide selection of types and approaches. NB A basic drawback of the ‘article’ as a process is that articles seem in many contexts, and these contexts may outline style and method. Unless the query specifies publishing context very rigorously, one should beware of jumping to conclusions - as an illustration, a ‘school magazine’ may be written in many alternative ways, from jokey / colloquial to formal / severe. Usually, accept any strategy which is credible and consistent. A distinction: both text types usually current private experience and comment, but a weblog is more of a public statement, whereas a diary is extra of a non-public reflection. ‘loose’ kinds, the scholar still has to deal with the precise task set. Does clear attention to the task clearly predominate over any informal digressions ? What ought to govern the effective organisation of those textual content sorts? Conventions : are there conventions for the relatively new weblog - or for the anarchically personal diary ? The task might define an emphasis on informing (e.g the health leaflet) or on selling (e.g. the publicity brochure). The Essay is one of the commonest kinds that teachers mark - however is there actually agreement on what is meant by ‘a good essay’ ? Range of vocabulary - How a lot ‘formal academic’ vocabulary is used? And the way appropriately and/or correctly is it used? However … good essays can (and perhaps ought to) be written in clear, straightforward, unpretentious language, so lack of ‘sophisticated’ language mustn't necessarily be penalised (especially at SL). Language of logical linkage - Modals? … ‘X leads to Y’ ? … modifiers (‘usually’, ‘rarely’, ‘in general terms’ ?) … and so on. Does using language enable a clear understanding of the logical connections of the argument? How effectively is the text directed at a clear challenge or question? These ought to successfully embody the ‘sense of purpose’. There should be a way that totally different arguments are explored - if solely to refute a few of them. Actual balance between, say Pro & Con, will depend upon the duty specified. Conventions - There are many different conventions for many various kinds of essay - that are anticipated, if any in particular, and how are the conventions to be recognised ? … to say nothing of how a lot can be anticipated from SL college students. Will the elements beneath be recognised as ‘conventions’ ? Register - Tricky, this, as a result of teachers seem to have differing expectations as to how formal / impersonal an essay ought to be - as an illustration, some encourage and a few discourage the usage of the pronoun ‘I’. Best to reward consistency, slightly than penalise for expectations that will not be valid. |
