The HL individual oral

Answer

The HL literature oral: you present on a short extract from one of your two studied works, then discuss it with your teacher.

Answer

The short passage — from a work you studied — that the HL oral is built on.

Answer

Say where it comes from and what is happening at this point — briefly, no long retelling.

Answer

Show what the extract means and HOW the writing creates it (voice, imagery, tone, character, theme) — the heart of the presentation.

Answer

Link the extract to the whole work — which central theme it belongs to and why the moment matters.

Answer

How to use evidence: make a point, quote a short phrase, then comment on its effect (answer "so what?").

Answer

The "I" in a first-person extract is the narrator (a character/created voice), NOT the author who wrote the work.

Answer

A short supervised preparation → a short prepared presentation on the extract → a discussion with the teacher about the work and its themes.

Answer

PLACE the extract, ANALYSE it (what it means + how), then CONNECT it to the whole work.

Answer

Highest: analysis over summary, short quotes with comment, a clear link to the whole work, fluent literary language. Lowest: plot retelling, reading a script, no evidence, narrator/author confusion.
