FINAL IB EXAM

FIRST FINAL DRAFT DUE (No Later Than March 28th)

*Set up meeting time to record

1000 word statement

or

Interview  (15 minute speech draft)

Either an interview (maximum of 15 minutes) or a written commentary (maximum of 1,000 words) must be provided. If a candidate opts to submit a 1,000 word written commentary this is an alternative to the audio/video interview and should be submitted in the candidate interview/commentary segment of the upload on IBIS that has been adapted to accept text files.

Please note that the 1,000 word written commentary is not a replacement of the 300 word candidate statement. The two documents are separate and must be submitted in different segments of the upload.

Whether candidates choose to provide an interview file or a written commentary, this is their opportunity to ensure that evidence of each of the markband descriptors has been submitted in the studio work (for an HLA/SLA candidate) and investigation workbook pages (for an HLB/SLB candidate) selected for assessment and to comment on their own artwork. The visual arts checklist can be used to keep a record while selecting work. Any aspects that are not covered or only partially covered should be the focus of this element of the coursework portfolio.

It is important that the candidate clearly indicates which studio work (for an HLA/SLA candidate) or which investigation workbook page (for an HLB/SLB candidate) is being referred to. The clearest way to reference this information is to provide the name of the studio work or the page number of the investigation workbook.
