The IOC Can't Break Me

Practice IOC annotated passage:

Practice IOC voice recording wouldn't load so I emailed it to you!

Grading of my practice IOC:

Criterion A:  I would give myself a 6 on this as I believe that I showed adequate knowledge and understanding of the text, but my comments were supported by well chosen references to the text. Though that is one half from the 5-6 range and one half from the 7-8 range I feel like the IBO would give me a more harsh grade so I chose 6.

Criterion B:  I gave myself a 7 for this section because I think I had a good awareness and illustration of the use of literary features and a somewhat detailed understanding of their effects on the reader.  I could have elaborated more however.

Criterion C:  I gave myself a 3 for this area area because I tried to organize my thoughts well, but I had a hard time transitioning from each piece of evidence I had, leading it to sound not very structured.

Criterion D:  I would give myself a 3 for this as well.  I don't have the most extensive vocabulary in the subject of English, but I think that I was mostly clear and appropriate, with an adequate degree of accuracy in grammar and sentence construction.  I also believe that my register and style are mostly appropriate to the commentary.

In reality I'm probably not a harsh enough critic on my work, but I just don't want to assume I did too horribly.  I for sure did better than the guy in the video you sent us, though, so that's reassuring.

Hope you enjoyed!! :)
