IB English Literature HL (2021) - Paper 2 Prep Bundle

*Most of these resources also work for SL!*

After teaching IB English: Literature HL for seven years, here are my go-to resources for teaching and practicing Paper 2. All resources have been updated for the new Paper 2: Comparative Essay (2021) format. This bundle includes over 50 pages of resources, and all documents are editable. Included you will find:

• A guide to teaching Paper 2 to students with day-by-day instructions. This unit works best during the final semester of IB Literature (second semester of senior year) leading up to the Paper 2 exam.
• Introductory handout explaining paper 2 to students.
• IB's official Paper 2 rubric in a matrix format that makes for easy grading.
• Comparative chart activity, instructions, template, and sample.
• 16 NEW Paper 2 sample questions. These cannot be found anywhere else!
• 3 full student sample papers of HIGH quality (using texts like The Quiet American, The Road, The Things They Carried, Beloved, and The Handmaid's Tale)
• A NEVER BEFORE SEEN outlining technique that makes Paper 2 EASY to tackle. This come with examples and worksheets for students. My own students RAVE about this approach and say it makes Paper 2 manageable (and even fun) to tackle.
• Self-editing and peer-editing forms for Paper 2 (so that YOU, the teacher, don't have to grade every single mock they write!)
• Paper 2 strategy posters to hang in your room.
• And more!

I promise you... this resource makes Paper 2 SO much more approachable. Paper 2 is consistently where my own students score the highest, and we receive some of the highest scores on the country. ALL of my IB Literature students consistently make a 5, 6, or 7 on Paper 2.

Good luck and happy teaching!
