IB Global Politics HL Internal Assessment Example

The student identifies a clear and politically meaningful issue and explains why it matters to them.

The student connects the topic directly to course ideas such as human rights, power, and equality.

The student's engagement is purposeful because it is clearly linked to the issue they want to investigate.

The student establishes from the start that this is a global politics question rather than only a social issue.

The student's justification would be even stronger if they more explicitly separated explaining the practice from endorsing it.

The student could be more precise about the specific knowledge gap about NGOs that their investigation is trying to address.

The student describes a range of engagement activities clearly and in enough detail to show genuine direct involvement.

The student includes multiple perspectives, which gives their engagement a wider political reach and makes it more credible.

The student explains what they learned from the experiences rather than only listing what they did.

The student shows awareness of how community norms, education, sensitization, and collaboration shape responses to the issue.

At times the reflection stays close to what people said rather than fully explaining what those comments revealed about the politics of the issue.

Some activities are described well but could be linked more directly to specific learning about how attitudes or institutions change.

A few parts feel repetitive, so the explanation could be tighter and more consistently reflective.
