2 IB ORAL INDIVIDUAL INFO.


INFORMATION FOR THE ORAL INDIVIDUAL.

It  is based on the options: cultural diversity, customs and traditions, health, leisure, science and technology.
The individual oral is divided into two parts.
Supervised preparation time
The student is shown one photograph (HL), with a title or caption, selected by the teacher. The title or caption should help the student give a focus to the presentation. Each photograph is related to a different option studied in class.
The student chooses one of the photographs and prepares a presentation.
15 minutes
Part 1:
Presentation
The student describes the photograph and relates it to the option and the target culture(s).
3–4 minutes
Part 2:
Discussion
A discussion with the teacher based on the presentation follows. Discussion based on a topic from the other option studied may be introduced if that contributes to the interaction.
5–6 minutes
The teacher selects from different sources photographs of scenes or situations linked to the two options studied during the course, and gives a title to each photograph that should help the student focus on the option. The student is shown one photograph per option studied and chooses the one that will be used in the presentation. The student must not see the photograph prior to the examination, and has 15 minutes in which to prepare the presentation based on the photograph, relating it to one of the two options covered in class.
The photograph should enable the student to reflect on the culture(s) studied and should stimulate discussion following the presentation. Any text in the picture should be in the target language. It is recommended that the photographs be in colour and contain plenty of graphic text. The same photograph may be used with up to five students but the title or caption should be different for each student.
During the 15 minutes’ preparation time students may write working notes (approximately 10 short points). These notes should be used for reference only and must not be read aloud as a prepared speech.
