This is an unseen guided textual analysis.  You are given two non-literary extracts (the same two that students get at Standard Level).  You must write about both of them.  There is no choice here.  Just like at Standard Level, a question is provided and you will write a guided textual analysis using that question to frame your response.  To be clear, they are two separate responses and they are weighted equally. 

Paper 2 is exactly the same for Standard and Higher Level.  You get 4 questions.  You choose 1 question and write a comparative essay using two literary works you have studied in the course. 

Obviously, this is for Higher Level only.  You write a 1200 – 1500 word processed essay about a topic of your choice using one literary work or one non-literary body of work that you have studied in the course.  The essay is internally worked on/completed during the course and then submitted to the IB for external examination.    

This is a prepared 10 minute oral presentation (and five extra minutes of questions by your teacher) in which you explore the (re)presentation of a global issue of your choice in one literary work and one non-literary body of work you have studied in the course. 

This is a super complex assessment. 

Finally, this is the internal assessment for the course.  Your teacher grades your work (i.e. your individual oral) and the IB asks for a moderation sample to be sent to them to check the marks given (and change them if necessary).
