What’s a Higher Level Essay (HLE)? Notes
So… What’s the HLE?
Think of the Higher Level Essay (HLE) as your one chance in IB English to breathe, plan, and actually think before writing. No ticking clocks, no sweaty palms, no last-minute scribbles.
It’s a 1,200 to 1,500 word essay, done over time with your teacher’s support, and externally marked by someone far away who drinks a lot of tea and reads essays for fun.
But here’s the deal:
It’s only for HL students (sorry SL folks, you dodged this one).
It’s based on texts you've already studied in class.
But don’t even think about choosing the same ones you used for your Individual Oral or Paper 2. IB will not be impressed.
You can write about a literary work or a non-literary text (like ads, speeches, articles), but non-literary texts must all be the same text type and by the same creator, no Frankenstein mashups.
