Mine was comparing the hero's journey in Ceremony to Buddha's hero's jouney.

Mine was about whether Hamlet's love for Ophelia was real or not.. or something along those lines that I ended up doing pretty badly on. I think I got like a 5 :/

Mine was the evidence of patriarchal system in Not Wanted on the Voyage by Timothy Findley. I did not enjoy this because this was a really really messed up book, and I got killed on the marks.

Significance of the historical notes in the Handmaid's Tale.

Mostly because I found some really interesting stuff about how the name of the place the historical notes are set is also the same as a part of Canda which wanted to split off or something like that. Also lots of interesting ethnic inversion stuff going on, as well as some tell tale signs of re-degeneration. PLUS I like anything which means I only have to read one chapter rather than a whole novel! ^___^

Mine was about the search for freedom in Winston's character versus Julia's character in 1984

I'm doing my EE in 1984 and The Giver, and possibly Modern Utopia (HG Wells)...although Modern Utopia is deadly boring...

This thread is for the English IOP, not the EE.

Mine was on the visual style in Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and how it showed his point of view on the world.

[DeStijl]

I did mine on the usage of distance and proximity in the three of W.B. Yeats' poems - "The Wild Swans at Coole", "The Lake Isle of Innisfree", and "The Second Coming". Fun stuff.

I really think it's better to do a topic you're passionate about rather than one that's just "whatever"
And spontaneity=awesome

For those of you who know what you got on your IOPs, did your teacher just tell you as he/she graded it? The teacher didn't tell you that you're not allowed to see the score until after you graduate?

I did mine on the evolution/transformation of Silas Marner's cottage in Silas Marner. Got a 6.

My teacher told us our grades when he finished processing them which was two weeks later.

Mine was about the tragic hero in antigone... while I was planning it I thought that creon would be the tragic hero, but then I decided half way through that it would be antigone. pretty common topic but it was really interesting - plus I got a 7 so I must have done something right hahaha. here's hoping the rest of my internal assessments go this well (which doesn't seem to be happening in any other subject except english so.. yeeeah. haha)

So my IOP is in less than two weeks. D:
I have no idea what on EARTH TO DO!
I'm thinking doing a flip-chart regarding something with either The Grapes of Wrath or The Great Gatsby.
Any suggestions?

I did mine on Blood Wedding by Lorca and it was exciting cos I did a Role Play exploring the character of the Bride and her emotional angst within her. it was pretty good.
Doing a role play is risky but if you do it well, it'd pay off.

[emmiez]

I did the "development of Ralph" from Lord of the Flies.
It's a great topic, with lots to talk about, and quite straight forward..

[charlotteee]
