Remember the IBO Rules
for Portfolio Pieces
-
Each piece should be 800-1000 words in
length. (Anything written in excess of 1000 words does not get graded)
The list of references under criterion E is not included in the word
count.
-
Each piece must be based on a news item
published not more than six months prior to the commencement of the course
(after 31st May 2003) and written in the working language of the school
(English).
-
Candidates should select their own news
items, although teachers can direct them to appropriate sources.
-
Candidates may use the same news item for
their stimulus material but collaborative work is not allowed.
-
News items used as the basis for class
discussion must not be used for the individual candidate’s piece of work.
-
The news item can be taken from any
published source (newspaper, journal, the Internet) and should be a short
article or extract.
-
The candidate’s piece of work must
focus on the content and context presented in the news item. For example, if
the news item is about the use of an IT system in a hospital and the
candidate identifies social and ethical issues related to security and
integrity of data, these must be examined in the context of a hospital as
presented in the news item. The piece of work must not be a general
discussion of these issues in any situation.
-
The news item must be attached to the
piece of work. If a candidate uses selected parts of a longer article, these
should be highlighted on the news item sent to the moderator.
-
A mark of zero will be awarded if the
piece of work is not based on a news item.

Choosing
the Right Issue for You
-
A
successful portfolio piece does begin with a news article on an
appropriate issue but you must choose an issue that you can both
understand and write about.
-
Before
you decide on an article ask yourself:
-
Do
I understand this issue?
-
What
do I know about this issue already?
-
Can
I find out more about it?
-
What
other resources are available?
-
Can
you write an essay about this issue?
-
Once
you have found a news article that you think would be appropriate, ask Mr.
Whitmore to check it for you.
-
Now
complete the
Portfolio
