Just finished paper 1 this morning and I think your videos saved me, so thanks! :)
Paper 2 tomorrow ... kind of scared about that one haha (I'm intending to study english lit and creative writing at university so I need a minimum of a 6 for English Literature ...)

Hey! That was really helpful, but I couldn’t help but wonder if the response was slightly shorter, could you please tell me what the approximate word count would be for paper 1?

Thanks💗

Thanks for the helpful videos. IB Lit teacher here - how do you coach your students on the length of body paragraphs? The length of paragraphs is not very balanced here, some as short as three sentences. With the time pressure, I have already tried to coach my students on concise writing and shorter paragraphs than I may suggest in other essays. However, I hadn't considered a structure with so many points and varied paragraph length. Any general advice or thoughts there? Is there any trade-off between fewer points with more development and textual evidence vs. more points that are shorter? Thanks!
