Further Oral Activity Reflective Statement Guidance

Reflective Statement
Following the completion of the Further Oral Activity, students are required to complete a
reflective statement on the oral, commenting on their performance and the progress they
made in achieving the aims they had set themselves.
The reflective statement must help clarify what the students purpose was and how they
determined to achieve that purpose. They should make clear their awareness of their own
role in shaping meaning.
You may consider the following for your reflective statement, in line with the IB guidelines
for the Further Oral Activity. The statement should be about 200-300 words, similar to a
rationale for a Written Task. It should not exceed 300 words, however.
Include a word count at the end.
You should try to give some specific ideas about decisions you made concerning structure,
content, language, and so on, in order to meet your aims with the presentation.
Your reflection should respond to the following questions:
1. What was the overall purpose of your particular choice of oral activities?
2. How did you plan to achieve that purpose?

In addressing the above questions, you might address the following:

3. In what ways did your Further Oral Activity explore the ways in which the
circumstances of production and reception affect the meaning of the selected text(s)?
4. How does your task relate to the study of texts and topics from parts I or II? Be as
specific as possible.
5. What sort of language and register did you choose to use for your task, and why?
6. How did you structure your analysis, and why?
7. What can you say about your progress in achieving the aims you had set yourself for
this task? Where were you successful, and what might you do differently?
8. What can you say briefly about your oral performance?

This reflection wont be scored for the quality of your writing, but it should express
complete, clear and coherent thoughts.
