IOPs

If any of you need help with your IOP over Christmas, please do not hesitate to contact me, wither on here or my BIS email address. Your IOPs should be pretty much ready to go by the time we come back to school.
Ezra, are you aware that the blog video contains several members of your family gazing into the webcam?

Marking my IOP

A-3
B-4
C-5
D-3

How i can improve

• Analyse more on the effects of literary features
• To improve my structure of my IOP I could next time refer back to the thesis statement that I had in my introduction.
• My presentation should be more convincing
• I didn’t really have a precise and cosies speech
• I didn’t have much critical analysis


My IOP questions

Paul Marshall
1. Because of Paul Marshall's high class, what characteristics has he received?
2. How has Paul Marshall's dialogue affected his characteristics?
3. What characteristics has Paul Marshall have, that made him seem so innocent by the other characters?


Cecilia
1. To what extent is Cecilia responsible?
2. To what extent is Cecilia mature?
3. What characteristics has Cecilia received from domestic space?


Briony
1. For what reason does Briony want to receive atonement?
2. What characteristics has Briony received from being a narrator?
3. To what extent is Briony mature?

COMMENTS ON MY IOP and IOP QUESTIONS ON EACH CHARACTER.

Criterion A: I have analysed on how McEwan portrayed war through the main characters. I looked on the effects that each character has on the novel to depict war, and looked at how war existed not only on the battlefield, but also within them.

Criterion B: I did not analyse the extracts and the quotations well, but I have analyse a couple poem extracts to depict WWI and the Edwardian society. I have not used a lot of literary techniques and devices. I should have commented more on the work of McEwan, rather than focusing on the characters themselves.

Criterion C: I have not have a logical structure, sometimes there are still confusions within my IOP.

Criterion D: The language in my IOP is not considered very advanced, and I have not used various literary terms.


BRIONY: To what extent does Briony achieve atonement in the novel?

CECILIA: How is Cecilia described as immature through looking at her actions, behaviours and attitude?

PAUL MARSHALL: By having a close discussion on Paul Marshall’s class status, why do you think class divisions lead the Tallis family to misinterpret Paul Marshall, resulting in Lola sexual invasion?
