keegan0321 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) Hi IB ppl, For the grade 11 IB english oral we have to pick our own passage and discuss about it for 10 minutes. Does anyone have any advice on how to make a good presentation? As well, we have to choose the passage from three books, All quiet on the western front by Erich Maria Remarque; I know why the caged bird sings by Maya Angelou; and last but not least, The crucible by Arthur miller. Is there any significant and good passage in these three works that I can use?? the passage should only be about 30-40 lines Thank you so much!!! BTW I have to get it figured out before January 6!!! Plz...help me!!! thank u all!!! Edited January 2, 2009 by keegan0321 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KLSmash Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 I haven't read those novels, but just try to find a part of the novel which advances plot (which can be a lot of things), as long as it's not just the author babbling on. Remember to look at your criteria for a commentary VERY CLOSELY and ensure you discuss about everything that is needed. That's what I did, and I ended up doing extremely well.

Shorty Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Hey Keegan by any chance are you from Semiahmoo? I've read the exact same play and novels and had to do the exact same assignment. For my oral, I picked a short scene out of the Crucible when the reverend goes around question John and Elizabeth and the importance of the play, while analyzing the devices and word choice Miller chooses. If you are from Semi...just send me a message and I will be happy to help you. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
