You down with the IOC?





Criterion A: 7
I think I did a good job of displaying my understanding of the text as a whole, but I think that my use of the excerpts might have been used in a random/confusing order. I commented on Atwood's purpose on multiple occasions so I think I did a decent job of displaying my understanding of themes and central ideas.
Criterion B: 6
I think I could have done a better job about specifically stating the effects on the reader. I think I did a fine job at discussing the literary techniques used consistently.
Criterion C: 3
I feel that I organized it well by restating my thesis for the analysis of each of the three literary techniques discussed, however, I feel that I got off on a tangent a few times which may have made my points hard to follow.
Criterion D: 3
I say "like" and "um" a lot which annoyed me so I'm sorry to anyone listening. Also I'm not sure if my use of the word "separated" for each restatement of my thesis would take points off in the real thing, so I'm just being overly cautious in this score.

    Your context within the novel is very good, along with the different stylistic devices you discovered within your extract. You talked about the society that was in the book and how that society influenced the way that Atwood structured the novel through Offred's first person and her emotions. You are amazing and your "ums" and
    likes" don't define you ILY

    I thought you did a really good job of representing the central themes of the novel in your ten minutes while relating everything to your passage and showing where those themes appear. While you didn't focus so much on the effect of the author's choices on the reader, your analysis of them was very detailed and also the way you brought in the context of the 1980s was very well done.

    You did a good job displaying your knowledge of the plot and context. I like how you analyzed the text but I definitely think you could talk more on the effect on the audience. Lol I said um and like a lot too it. But overall good job :)

    heyyyya! "u did a great job blah blah" stg nobody is original anymore! first 3 comments made me suicidal! ANYWHO- the context u included in the introduction was the perf way to familiarize the listeners with what was happening- i #got it better bc of your description. The major plot points and central themes were also emphasized in your schpeeeel (how do u spell that word?!) which will help u score real well in about a week. Also i dig when u say "um" and "like"......... blrb blah pip pip

    I'm excited to hear your real IOC- you did a nice job here. Some thoughts: I like the background you give and that you pretty much jump right in (be careful that you aren't spending too much time giving background)- you sound calm and organized. Need a bit more introduction here; additionally, there was no thesis. Remember that the whole point of the IOC is to construct an oral essay in which you decide on the purpose of the passage and how the author develops that purpose. You really just jump into analyzing what you notice in the passage and it's not linked together. I think you've got a great use of devices here, but keep linking back to the overall purpose of the passage. That's really the effect. Keep thinking...why is Atwood doing what she's doing in the passage? How do you know? I also think you have clear organization in your planning, but thinking about the two questions I mention will help keep it more organized orally. As far as analysis/devices- use the big 5: https://www.thinkib.net/englishalanglit/page/11116/the-big-5

The Denial of Saint Peter Artist: Caravaggio Date: 1610 Medium: Oil on canvas Size: 37 x 49 3/8 in.  Classification: Painting Stylistic Context: The painting was created by Caravaggio in Italy during the early seventeenth century. The painting, created during the era of an expansion of the arts known as The Renaissance, displays a biblical scene. The period in which this piece was painted was also marked by the constantly changing religious denomination of the countries in Europe.  Subject:   The image displays three individuals: a Roman guard, a peasant woman, and Peter. The painting portrays a biblical scene in which Peter, a disciple of Jesus Christ, denies having any ties to Jesus. Peter is the only individual of the three who is entirely bathed in light. This automatically brings one's eye to Peter, as he is clearly meant to be the focal point of the painting. This idea is further established by the three hands pointing at Peter, as they automatically d
