LikeA'13OSS Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 In the new syllabus you may already know that there is no "World Lit" and instead theres an LT essay... I was wondering if any of you have any tips on how to write it.. Its new so i could barely find much info online Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhavi Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 In my school the "new World Lit" essays are called Works in Translation. From what our teachers have told us, its almost the same except you're only writing about one book instead of comparing two. Just write it the way you would a normal English essay, be analytical, discuss literary techniques, the effect it has on the reader, etc. But be sure to discuss cultural and contextual details since the IB really likes those. Works in Translation essays without mention of cultural aspects of the book tend not to score as well:) (all from what my teacher has told us, but he is a really good one, so I would trust what he says) Good Luck!

LikeA'13OSS Posted May 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Im writing the rough draft at the moment and i did discuss all what youve mentioned except cultural and contextual elements since my topic does not relate to the cuultural aspect of the play im writing it on (Hedda Gabler)And our teacher has given us the criteria, it did not mention anything about cultural or contextual elements either.. Im not sure, what do you think? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
