IB Global Politics SL Internal Assessment Example

The student states a focused political issue clearly and keeps the inquiry anchored in Global Politics terms.

The student's personal rationale is convincing and makes the topic feel genuinely meaningful rather than generic.

The student connects the issue to relevant concepts such as power, legitimacy, interdependence, globalization, and peace.

The justification would be even sharper if the student named the specific non-state actors they planned to examine.

A slightly clearer explanation of the state–advocacy tension would make the issue’s political significance even more precise.

The student describes their engagements clearly and chooses activities that are strongly relevant to the issue.

The student goes beyond listing experiences by explaining what each one taught them about advocacy and disarmament.

The student shows awareness of a limitation in their engagement process by reflecting on missing perspectives.

Some reflections stop at describing what happened rather than explaining fully how the student's understanding changed.

The effect of the missing government and media perspectives on the student's overall interpretation could be explored more explicitly.
