IB English 1 Literature (HL)

While meeting all the objectives for English 11, students follow an accelerated, internationally based curriculum. IB English 1 is part one of a two-year program in which students develop a knowledge of the literature and culture of both the United States and other countries. Reading from a variety of genres and texts, students develop and practice detailed and critical analysis in oral and written forms. Students produce one essay that is externally assessed by the IB Organization and one oral presentation that is internally assessed. In addition to these assessments, students will be required to complete additional assessments in IB English 2 to meet the requirements for a Higher Level IB Diploma or Certificate.
