IOC (I Odid Creallybad)

So I am really not afraid to speak in front of people (if I was I would've picked a bad career), but halfway through I realize I didn't summarize the passage so I talk to myself about that for thirty second. Fast forward to 6:24 for entertainment. Also, now that I'm typing, I realize I basically ignored literary devices. Yikes.



A: Knowledge and understanding of the text or extract
8- What did I do wrong? Well I didn't summarize the passage itself. I summarized the text around it, and gave some context on the author and time period, but if it weren't for the fact that you had read the play, you would have almost no idea what I was talking about.  However, I did use appropriate textual evidence when citing my claims.

B: Understanding of the use and effects of literary features
4- This completely flew out the window. You would think, because it takes up a whole block of the rubric, I would have payed more attention to it. But I didn't. The only literary devices I mentioned were soliloquys and dialogue. However, I did explain their effects (particularly on the audience and interpretation of the text). I also mentioned foils briefly, but did not really go into much depth with that.

C: Organization
8- As a whole I like to think that this IOC was pretty organized. I had a beginning and all of my points laid out in an orderly fashion. However, I did tend to get a little off track at some points or have to circle back in my explanations. I also had a thirty second realization that I forgot to include the summary of the passage, which did definitely not happen in an orderly fashion.

D: Language
6- My language in this IOC was fine. Just fine. It wasn't fantastic, but I also wasn't speaking at a first grade level. I used some bigger vocabulary words, but also said "uh" or "um" a lot, when I should have just paused for a second to collect my thoughts. I did manage to keep talking the whole time too, which is important.

    Hey Lily, for some reason the video is unavailable to me on my screen but it just might be an issue with my computer. Although I didn't get to hear your IOC, from what I can see you took pretty detailed annotations on specific points you wanted to analyze. There is also a clear structure to how you went about it, which is seen in how you started with the context and moved on to the main themes you wanted to investigate further. I agree with your point about including more devices, which is something I also struggled with as we had the same passage. For your grading, I think the organization and language are out of 5, but otherwise from what I saw it seems you have a platform to build upon for your real IOC. Good work!

Lessons From Death Row Inmates

Image
I was immediately drawn to the title . What lessons could we possibly learn from death row inmates? Don’t kill people? I learned that in preschool. In addition to the title, the debate over the death sentence has always interested me. I have a pretty strong opposition to it, but I think that both sides of the argument are fascinating, and have their own strengths. Also, the death penalty is largely debated through ethics, which is the same lens through which we commonly look at cloning. The tone of the title seemed like it could fall either way- either for or against the death penalty- so I went ahead and clicked on it. Almost before I realized it, the eighteen minutes were over (and I had to get out of my bed and actually write this post). This TED talk was given by Mr. David R. Dow, who has been a death row lawyer in Texas for over twenty years. As soon as he began to talk about the execution of his clients, it became clear which side of the argument he was on. Despite his eviden...

A Thank You :)

"A part of us stayed like that: fearful of the world around us, and- no matter how much we despised ourselves for it- unable quite to let each other go." - Never Let Me Go This post is delving much deeper into the book than the quote, but here goes. Also, these are just alphabetical- no special order. And it's just people in IB Anne Ross: Anne Ross Pender, you are the absolute kindest person I have ever met. You are so beautiful and loving, and care so much about everyone dear to you. You have been by my side this entire year, and I can't tell you how much that means to me, as this has been a pretty difficult year for me. I truly don't have words to express how much your love and support mean to me. I could go on telling you how fantastic you are forever- you deserve the entire world. I can't wait to see what you do next :). All my love. Ben: We've come a long way since freshman year. Even if you still think that I hate you, I assure you th...

My New Summer Job

Image
I want to preface this by thanking Mrs. Genesky for encouraging us to look up advertisements, as it has led to me finding my new summer job . Unknown.  Untitled . Las Angeles, 2013 This advertisement for Arrangement Finders was first posted on a Billboard in Los Angeles in 2013. While it may seem as though the advertisement is completely ridiculous and inappropriate, it’s actually completely relevant to the company, which is a “sugar baby and sugar daddy match making service”. While I am not in the least interested in this company, its advertisement was absolutely perfect for this assignment (sorry Mrs. Genesky, you did this to yourself). At first glance,the evident sin pictured in this advertisement is lust. While the text is directed towards women, the photo is most certainly geared towards men, as it shows off a pretty blonde woman, applying a coat of lipstick. However, the text portion of the ad lends itself strongly to avarice, directing itself towards women who want mo...
