<p>Does anyone else absolutely despise their IOP? I need to do mine Dec. 1st on Equus (I love Equus), but have yet to find a topic my teacher likes. My first topic was that Equus resembled the Devil more than God, but my teacher was rly against it... IB sucks...</p>
<p>Translation?</p>
<p>What is an IOP?</p>
<p>The IOP is probably one of the more interesting assignments. Better than the oral commentary anyway.</p>
<p>Can't the IOP be a creative presentation? Last year I just talked about the thematic connections between 2 pieces. It wasn't that bad.</p>
<p>International 'Ouse of Pancakes</p>
<p>i remember doing my iop last year. my teacher put all the titles and dates in a black box and we just chose out of it. it was between equus, death of a salesman, blood wedding, and merchant of venice. but they were abbreviated to equus, death, blood, and merchant. i pulled "death on the 13th" =P
maybe you could talk about the voyeuristic aspect?</p>
<p>Imperative Optical Paradise...what's not to like?</p>
<p>wow.yayo.i think u go to my school lol. those are the 4 exact books one class had to do this year. we had merchant, death, godot, and equus. I'm comparing the chain in equus and the rope in godot as motifs that both represent freedom, but differently.</p>
<p>whoaa that's cool. suncoast?</p>
<p>Oh, IB English.</p>
<p>At my school, our IOP books are Love Medicine by Louise Erdrich, Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri, and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Our school only lets us choose from three books, but they don't make us draw topics out of a hat! We pick our own, and if two kids choose the same thing, our teacher picks who's allowed to do it, and the other has to come up with another one. Kind of mean, but it works.</p>
<p>I did a commentary on a passage from Love Medicine and then expanded the ideas from it into an over-arching theme for the whole book. It was actually really fun, and excellent practice for the Individual Oral Commentary...</p>
<p>World Lit papers are fun, too...IB English has a lot of little IA-ish type things (although the World Lit papers aren't technically IAs...they feel like them, though).</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Yes! I go to Suncoast! I changed mine (to make it more specific) and it's: the chain in Equus and the rope in Waiting for Godot represent the restriction of the freedom to move on in life.</p>
