stressed_baby_kangaroo Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 I read a thread where someone compared HL English to being like GCSE/iGCSE Literature, is this true? In terms of analyzing a book, writing essays, etc. I'm currently reading "The Handmaid's Tale" and I'm really stressed out about annotating it, too. I finished my iGCSEs in May/June with an "A" for English Literature but I'm still extremely stressed out. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw0573 Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 There is a significant oral portion and poetry analysis portion in Literature HL. In the IOC, you will be expected to give an impromptu oral commentary (with few minutes of preparation time) on a passage from a work you have studied in class. Other than that it's pretty much the typical analysis type of writings, but possibly with greater expectations than GCSE. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
