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.

May 2015 extended essay reports Page 1 Literature and Performance 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 The chief issue in essays submitted for this subject is that a grasp of ‘adaptation’ is crucial to a truly appropriate research project. Very few of the candidates revealed either explicit or implicit awareness of the conceptual elements of moving the chosen text into performance of some kind, with a sense of the challenges and possibilities involved. Much of the work submitted involved transferring or comparing ideas, characters and plots from their presence in the text to their presentation in a film. There were very few instances where texts were studied in adaptation to performance on stage. The course itself is an interdisciplinary mix of Literature and Theatre, so the essays should really arise from some competence of one or both of these disciplines. A sense of the discipline's terminology is an expectation which was only sometimes met. A study of two film productions or a glossary of theatre terms applied to a theatrical production did not really meet the demand for an essay in this subject. Written texts ranged from childhood favourites through adolescent romance or illness fictions to some reasonably challenging literary works.
