cricketcrazynerd Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 As holiday homework before IB year 1 starts in Jan, I have to write a commentary on a text extract. But, I dont know what a commentary is (essay???) let alone how to write one... Does anyone have any ideas? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymi Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 I see you're from Singapore...don't you write O'Levels? You're supposed to know how to write one for those exams. However, we can still help if you're lost A commentary is more or less an analysis of the text (either a poem, extract from a novel/play, or short story). Check out this forum ---> http://www.ibsurvival.com/topic/9486-tips-for-writing-a1-essays-paper-1-paper-2-and-wl1/ It should give you enough to know how to write one. Also, have you tried Google? You should. It has lots of helpful and useful tips. BUT, since i'm in a good mood today..I found you a link. http://academicslavery.blogspot.com/2010/08/how-to-write-commentary.htmlIt's just to get you started Good Luck! 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
