You’ll have to make up an interview with the leader of a local LGBT NGO called Shanghai Pride and use that as your engagement and write a report on you combining research and evaluation. There are three components to this internal assessment: Complementary research; the engagement and the written report of 2,000 wordsYour report will be assessed against four different criteria:
1. Identification of issue and justification (4 marks)
2. Explanation of engagement (4 marks) 3. Analysis of issue (6 marks)
4. Synthesis and evaluation (6 marks)Writing a successful report means that you must consider how you structure your work to ensure you consider all four criteria.
Whilst there will be a certain amount of description required in order to explain what you did on your engagement you must be careful to ensure that your report is primarily analytical and evaluative rather than descriptive if it is to successfully meet the IB criteria
A suggested structure for your report is considered overleaf.This structure is a suggestion.
Section 1. Identification and justification (approx. 200-300 words)
Section 2. Explanation of engagement (approx. 500 600 words)
Section 3. Analysis and Evaluation (approx. 1,200 words)Section 1 – 1: You must clearly state the political issue is being explored through your engagement.
2. You must explain – clearly but briefly – why this political issue is of interest to you and why you have chosen to carry out the particular engagement you have decided upon
3. You must relate the political issue and your engagement to the course content. How does it link with the syllabus?
Section 2 – 1. You must explain exactly what you did as your engagement activity. It is not enough to say, for example, I helped out at a homeless shelter in San Jos. You should say – briefly – exactly what you did at the homeless shelter. What jobs did you do? Who did you work with? Who did you interact with? How long were you there for?
2. It should be clear to the examiner how this engagement is relevant to the political issue you have chosen to investigate. The easiest way to do this is for you to clearly state how your engagement is relevant to your chosen political issue
3. You must make it extremely clear what you learnt through carrying out your engagement and how this has increased your understanding of the political issue. Remember, it is ok to say that your engagement has made you question everything you thought you believed about an issue beforehand.
Section 3- 1. To what extent does the student synthesise his or her experience and research in the discussion of the political issue?
2. To what extent does the student show evidence of evaluation, underpinned by his or her experiences and adequate research, to allow multiple perspectives on the political issue?
