Assessment Statements/Detailed Syllabus - Yr 2
Clicking on the title above will take you to a monster of a document that is the foundation of our syllabus for the year. It includes clarifications directly from IB regarding the content to be assessed and is rearranged and further annotated to align with the curriculum that we will be following specifically at WFS. Follow along throughout the year. This has been noted as invaluable for review by past successful students!
But here is a Syllabus in Brief...with some estimated dates and essential ideas for each topic.
Also, notice the recurring use of various command terms in these assessment statements. These are carefully chosen verbs, with specific meanings and expectations for your responses. Note that they are also divided into three categories of increasing depth, and questions of level 3 expect a more sophisticated response than level 2, etc. This quizlet will help you review them (and ensure that you are actually answering the question given!)
