Individual Oral - IA - IB - LAL - Body of Work - Marquez - The Great - Chronicle

This is a brief guide to the Individual Oral for the IB LAL course (HL and/or SL). I have used two texts as an example of an interesting text pairing. The texts are the television series, The Great, combined with the novel by Marquez, Chronicle of a Death Foretold. The global issue I have focused on is: The imbalance of power between the sexes as a result of cultural/religious traditions. Both texts present the issue in different ways and both could be read through the lens of feminism. I have included the extracts for analysis that students could choose to use as part of their oral presentation. I have also included a guide to help students plan the first 10 minutes of the oral presentation. Finally, I have attached all of the quotes from the novel that link to the global issue. I hope it is all useful for you!
