1. IB Written Assignment - HL
You chose one of the stories we’ve read in class over the last two years.
You “produce a piece of creative writing” based on the work of literature you have read in class.
This cannot be in any way a form of literary criticism or a formal essay.
Examples include:
A new ending to a novel
Interviewing a character
A diary entry by one of the characters in a story or play
A news report about an event in the story
You choose a text type from this list:
Article
Blog / diary entry
Brochure, leaflet, flyer, pamphlet, advertisement
Interview
Introduction to debate, speech, talk, presentation
News report
Official report
Set of instructions, guidelines
Written correspondence

3. The “Rationale” (150-200 words):

States and describes your “aims” (what you want to say)
Describes how you achieved your “aims”
say how your text type helped

4. Where and when do this?
You will type this in class; we have three class periods.
When you finish I will give feedback (like with a normal essay), and you will correct it.
