As someone who had no idea what to do with my IO, this helped me a lot :)

Dear Andrew and Dave, I am turning to you again for help and advice. This isn't about the IO, but the higher level essay. One of my students is in a quandary. He has chosen to write his essay on a collection of speeches of Simon Sinek. But lately, he realised that speeches can be considered as literary texts (non- fiction), and the 6 literature works the school has prescribed don't include speeches. It's rather late in the day for him to go back to the drawing board and start again with a new text/work. Would Sinek's published speeches pass as non-literature? Would he be penalized for this? I'm not sure myself, so I would really value your opinion.
Much appreciated.
Peter

Hello - you guys are really the best. I have watched your videos many times to help me understand what my daughter is working through in her IB Lit class! My question is - many of the videos you create are focused on Lang/Lit but my daughter is doing the HL Literature class only (so no lang). Are there any specific tips for HL Lit you could do a video on?

Hey IB English Guys, first of all, I love all your content and it is truly helping me a lot second I really wanted to see what you think of my Mock IO topic ( I am not in lang lit so one non-lit extract and lit extract for my case), for my IO I have chosen 1984 by George Orwell and only the first few pages of the book and for my non-lit extract, I have chosen Basquiat's painting titled "The Irony of a Negro Policeman" after following your guides to pin point all the ideal topics that correlate in the extracts, I have concluded on the Global Issue which is "The Manipulation of Media and Propaganda for Political Gain", I just wanted to know your thoughts on this particular Global Issue, thank you in advance it would mean a lot for me.
