IB ENGLISH B TEXT TYPES

CONTENTED BEING?

CONTENT+ EDucation + IB + ENGlish

= CONTENTED BEING

Hi,

I am an experienced English teacher and an award-winner, internationally acclaimed novelist, playwright, poet, screenplay writer, and creator of poetry  videos.

Click  here to visit my author site.

I have also been teaching IB English B for over ten years.

My approach to teaching English B is slightly different: instead of teaching text types through the topics, I explore the themes through text types.

UPDATE:

​Now that AI apps and programs are able to write convincing texts, it is imperative that we, as IB English B teachers, encourage students to make the entire writing process from brainstorming, researching, planning, drafting and re-drafting absolutely visible.

Therefore, I have written a series of workbooks wherein students handwrite the entire writing process using guided prompts, worksheets, task cards, answer templates and planning pages.

 

Because I thoroughly enjoy the writing process, and because I want to be able to explain that process to my students, I can assure you I have written each mentor text without the aid of any artificial intelligence writing software, websites, apps, or programmes.

 

​​Oh, the name 'Contented Being' is aspirational: I hope it will describe you after your have purchased and used the resources. :-)

Have a great year!

Alan
