what to do while preparing for the real IO.
- Bringing in new perspective and explanation- strong points
- Provide evidence when you are explaining
- Prioritise your points – which point to speak first
- Clear connection to the global issue- both lit and non-lit
- Explanation and understand the text clearly before thesis statement
- Balance between the texts (4 mins each)
- Going depth in one or two specific global issue not the whole GI- like eg: identity, communication and culture; you don’t have to talk about all of them but just focus on one and other one as supporting the main one.
- Work and brainstorm with the people who are doing the same body of work as you
- Choose only 40 lines of literature text
- Never repeat the points
- Make the connections clear for yourself
- Chose the text that are related to each other (both literature and non-literature); that has both the same global issues and concept
- The global issue should make sense to both literature and non-literature.
- Chose the text where you think that you can finish the elaboration in 10 minutes. Do not choose broad topics or texts
