dexter Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Well you didnt give us much information on what you what to focus on ...You have two main options: Option A: You create a Poem/ dialouge between to charcters (can be frm same novel peom or not) /monolouge interveiw at a talk show anything CREATIVE BUTTT afterwards it must be descirbe in details talking about chacter and i have seen some examiners comments for candidates who acheived 7's they all said that the main thing is for you to say I concluded that.. and I realized I understood ( put personal understanding) Option B : take a poem/paragraph in the novel/ poem and discuss it mainly its poems as if its your ioc you discuss the speaker,mood,seeting, then start getting into simlies,metaphors symbolizm title etcc.... Dont forget to try not to use lots of umms when you haventhn to say just repeat what yous aid previously or use conjunctions ( How ever,Despite,Also etc..)and hope words come to your mind So that you dont Say Umm Or Pause!! THEY HATE THAT!! We had a girl last year who paused for over 15 seconds ( Honest to god) and her IOP was great but achived a 6 so focus on what i said and later tell me how you did.. Hope it helped Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermine0817 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Hmm.... firstly, I haven't read any of the works, so sorry, I can't hel you. Secondly, you would have to find a theme, I would say. Your demand is very vague, you know. And as dexter says above, decide on the type of IOP first.

[/quote] Certainly there must be something in one or two of the books that interested you. Try to pick something really narrow, 10-15 minutes is less than you think. Another good advice is to start asap. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
