Written Task 3

So far, plagiarism has been found in  2 written tasks.  They will lose points for it.  If plagiarism is found in WT 4, the task willl receive a 1.

 It is not enough to name your source in your source list.  You need to specify which text you have borrowed.  In a Type 2 task you can use an in-text reference; in a Type 1 task, you must identify what text you have borrowed in your source list.

Shakespeare's Othello

On Monday, April 11, we will be starting our third and final work in Part 4, Critical Study, "Othello".  This will be one of the three works that you will have to prepare for your IOC on.  Remember, the IOC counts for 15% of your IB mark and 5% of your SE grade; it is an oral exam and there is no resit.
