My final IO was between the THT section in the Jezebels club and a political cartoon called Rule of Law. I actually first came up with this connection when first coming up with IO ideas in Y12 (DP Year 1) and I first wrote it out in the second paragraph of a post on my learner portfolio titled ‘IO Preparation’, published on December 21, 2019. They connected with higher-ranking men worsening the oppression of women.
I think it went well. My memorisation and practice enabled me to learn what I said really well to help the fluidity of my IO, I used the same technique as I did in my practice as I found that worked well, except this time I memorised more as I had more time to work on it. When I was speaking I was confident in what I was saying, and I did end up saying more analysis than I planned as I recently had discovered more things to analyse. I think I did a better job analysing my non-literary extract but I hope that my literary extract was still analysed well enough. I feel like I improved from my practice as my connections and global issue was much stronger so I hope it paid off but I am glad it’s over and now all I need to focus on in English is Paper 1, due to COVID.
