How to Prep for the IB Orals :)

Go here to read up on how to prep and what to expect.

There's a funny video at the end of the handout. I've loved it for so long.  :)

General Advice for prepping for IB Orals from Ms. Shine: 

--Read my feedback and LISTEN to your commentary and discussion practice
--Practice the SPEAKING, not just thinking about what you'll say. Practice for your friends, your family, your pets, your stuffed animals--anyone that will listen. And if no one will listen? Talk to a mirror. 
--Read and discuss the Giovanni poems
--Review poetry literary techniques
--In the Giovanni folder on Edmodo, I've placed a sample discussion and and a sample commentary. Check those out!  (They are in one file titled samplediscussionandcommentary.) 
--Take a yoga class or two? Seriously, sleep, eat well, laugh, and breathe. :)
