IOC Practice Blog

(About 9 minutes and 30 seconds)
Passage Analyzed --- Lady Macbeth 'Unsex Me' Soliloquy

Planning ---In the picture below




Understanding of the Text Justification 
--> 7/10 I felt as if I did a good job of using the text and specific quotes to justify my central themes and ideas. However, I could have improved by explaining the context of the passage better. 
Understanding of the Use and Effects of Literary Features 
--> 4/10 After listening, I did not discuss the amount of literary features or there effects on the reader very much. I talked about symbolism and included the structure of the passage, but overall this portion of the IOC can be much improved.
Organization
--> 4/5 The organization of my IOC was actually pretty well done, as I included context, then discussed my themes by using quotes, and then finally used the questions to wrap it up. Overall, this was probably one of the stronger sides of my IOC.
Language 
--> 3/5 The language used during the practice IOC by myself was coherent and grammatically correct, but I thought I failed to use register and some other important aspects. I feel as if I could have improved this section by including register and being a little bit more stylistic with my comments.

  1. I think that overall this was a good IOC! I liked how you mentioned the theme fate vs the supernatural because it is more complex then something like femininity. I also think that defining fate was a really good call so that the listeners can really understand what you are trying to say. You seemed really confident in what you were saying which is why I agree with your score for Criterion A. Nice job Con-or!!!!!!

    Check your title and intro- there seems to be some confusion. Be sure to review the IOC resources I've provided on my blog and to you in class- I firmly believe they will help strengthen your response here. At some points, you venture away from the passage and are not citing and analyzing specific examples (about a fourth of the way in, discussing Lady M's actions). Remember that your goal is to establish what the purpose of this particular passage is and HOW the author develops that purpose (through technique and devices). Additionally, be sure you are not just paraphrasing- you MUST ANALYZE.
