Over Spring Break my IB Juniors are required to complete at least one Practice IOC, but you may do as many as you like. I have included three options below. The Macbeth and Caged Bird IOCs are in PDF format for download, and the Eliot IOC is just links to the poems that we have studied as a class, so as not to limit what I can choose from for the real IOC (be sure to only take about a 40 line chunk–I would just cut and paste it to a word doc.). Please follow my Practice IOC Roadmap, which is also included in the IOC Guidlines Packet.
Generic Guiding Questions for Eliot Poem
1. Discuss how the poet uses literary elements such as diction, figurative language and imagery to convey meaning in the passage.
2. Discuss how the structure and organization both contribute to the meaning of the passage.

For the Eliot poems, would you pick one that we haven’t studied in class or do you strictly use the ones studied?
In order to prepare for the IOC, I would definitely pick a poem from the packet that we have studied, since every passage option on the IOC is something that we have studied.
Hey Mr. Quale,
And enjoy Norway~!
Do you still have the STOP BAD FIT pdf from last year? We’re having a few practice IOC’s in class, and I forgot what part of the acronym stood for. :S Thanks.
Heather,
I teach the diploma parts differently here, so we do our Part 2 (the IOC part) their senior, or 12th grade year. So you can find all that stuff at my IB English 12 Page: http://mrquale.com/class-files/ib-seniors-hl/ (the STOP BAD FIT is included in my IOC Guidelines)
thank you! you are the bomb diggity.
p.s. toby is the worst.
tsk tsk heather, you didn’t write STOP BAD FIT in your source book last year?
wow, you know its REALLY cold in sactown when its the same temperature in stavanger…
toby is annoying… go jam!
eat it, paul. happy new year, quale! ..my iop is next week. shank me. i’m comparing The Stranger to Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” and dressing up as freddie mercury–pancho villa mustache included.
This IOP sounds like a winner. I assume you are leaning more on the creative end of the spectrum. When is a mustache ever not funny?
It rocked. I had so much fun with it. I never want to hear “Bohemian Rhapsody” ever again, though. When I was done with the entire thing, I checked iTunes to see how many times I’d played it. 467 times.
By the way, I have lost all faith in The Office.
Hi mr.quale, we have robert frost, emily dickinson and othello for IOCs. Could please help me with the practice IOCs??
I’ll very grateful to you for helping me out with this.
Thank you
Regards
