Resource overview

This subject report is listed under English B in the 2012 examination archive. The catalogue session is November 2012. The information below helps you identify the document before opening the complete PDF. Subject, year and session labels come from the archive catalogue; the original cover remains the reference if a label differs. A file is not automatically suitable for your current syllabus simply because its subject name matches.

For coursework research, read this document as a reference rather than a template to submit. Notice how the question, evidence and explanation connect. If a paired commentary or subject report is available, compare it with the original work instead of assuming a polished essay received a particular mark. Historical examples may belong to an earlier assessment framework.

November 2012 extended essay reports Page 1 English B Overall grade boundaries Grade: E D C B A Mark range: 0 - 7 8 - 15 16 - 22 23 - 28 29 - 36 The range and suitability of the work submitted There was a wide range of topics submitted this session with only a slight majority favouring category 3 literature. Within category 2, the vast majority of candidates chose topics in category 2b, essays of a general cultural nature based on specific cultural artifacts. Essays that approach a cultural topic broadly rather than having the concept ill ustrated by cultural artifacts (icons or symbols) tended to be mediocre at best. There were few essays submitted in category 1 despite the coverage of general language usage and linguistic issues within the IB Language B syllabus. Candidate performance against each criterion Criterion A: research question Most candidates included a research question appropriately in the introduction or early in the essay. The two most common problems with weak research questions is that they are far too broad in scope, or in the case of category 2b essays, they are not focused on the artifacts that illustrate
