English Lit HL IO Reflection

Challenges

  • Time limit of 10 minutes
    • Had to take out some evidence and analysis
      • Shortened analysis of “scrawny, lank gray hair” from The RoTook out analysis of “… very few superior individuals, made of the stuff of martyrs and saints”
  • Development of global issue
    • Stuck in mentality that I had to focus on how environment affects moral values, but eventually realized that both texts emphasized more on how the transformation of moral values affect one’s environment (community)
    • Wanted to show change in thesis, so wanted exploration of the chosen global issue to develop more in analysis of the second text, The Road, but it seemed really similar to my exploration in If This is a Man
  • Organizing the ten bullet points

 

Good

  • Learning of the context and connecting it to the text and its global issue
  • Connecting two texts and respective authors’ perspectives on the global issue to modern-day situations/context
    • BLM protests, Coronavirus, etc
