Hello future orators! Ready to dazzle the crowd with your IBDP English A: Language and Literature oral presentation? I know, it may sound a little daunting at first, but worry not! Let's break this down into some fun and easy-to-understand notes, just like the plot twists of your favorite Netflix series.

Yes, just like those interactive books where your choices define the outcome. You get to select any work from your course for this presentation. But remember, it's like the "one-time use" powerup in a video game - once you use a work for your oral presentation, you can't use it for any other assessment.

🌍 Real World Example: It's like choosing a "lifeline" in "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" - once you use it, it's gone!

Remember how Yoda guided Luke Skywalker? Your teacher will act similarly - guiding you to select the best topics and helping you find relevant texts. Yet, the final decision is yours to make. Use your curiosity and passion for the texts and global issues to guide you.

🌍 Real World Example: Imagine you're a movie director and your teacher is your trusted advisor. They give you advice, but ultimately, you call the shots!

Like in a game of chess, timing is key. Your school or teacher will decide the date of your oral presentation. The IB recommends doing it after studying a significant number of texts - it's like not going into a boss fight without leveling up enough first.

🌍 Real World Example: It's like a baking recipe - you don't put your cake into the oven before you've mixed all the ingredients properly.
