IB Global Politics SL Internal Assessment Example

The student states a focused and politically significant issue with clear relevance to housing, rights, and development.

The student explains their personal motivation for choosing the issue in a credible and sustained way.

The student makes explicit links to Global Politics concepts such as human rights, legitimacy, power, and social equity.

The issue statement could end with a sharper indication of the exact claim the student will investigate.

The connection between the student's personal motivation and the specific political inquiry could be made even more direct.

The student selects engagements that are clearly relevant to the issue and offer multiple perspectives from the state, NGO, and lived-experience levels.

The student's choices show good awareness of which voices can illuminate policy effectiveness and social impact.

The range of participants is well matched to a political investigation about housing provision.

The section is weakened by repeated future-oriented wording that makes parts of it read like a plan rather than a completed engagement.

The explanation of what the student learned from each engagement is not developed as clearly or reflectively as it could be.

The political value of each interview could be explained more concretely, rather than in broad terms.
