The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With the Sea

This week a new HL essay exemplar has been posted.  It is a response to Yukio Mishima's dark and disturbing novel, The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With the Sea. 
 

The new sample, and all others can be found at the page linked below.  It is important for teachers and students to look at a range of examples in order to become familiar with the expectations of this task and how student work is assessed using the criteria. While many of these samples could be described as very good, they do vary in approach, style and quality; it is important for students to see that there is not one set way of responding to these questions, and it is also useful to look at examples in terms of what they get wrong or could do better, as well as those that do a lot of things right.
