IB English 2 Literature (HL)

The students in IB English 2, while meeting all the objectives for English 12, complete the second year of the accelerated internationally based curriculum begun in IB English 1. Students refine their skills in structuring ideas and argumentation in a logical, persuasive, and sustained manner in both oral and written work. Students engage in independent literary criticism of major works of literature through detailed study, supporting their ideas with precise and relevant examples. In addition to the assessments completed in IB English 1, successful completion of an internally assessed oral exam, and two externally assessed written exams meet the requirements for a Higher Level IB Diploma or Certificate and may qualify for Advanced standing in college and/or college credit.
