Kabobi:
Does anyone have the IB Prescribed Book List (PBL) or the IB Prescribed World Literature List (PWL) for IB English A1? The ones that teachers use to construct courses.
I'm looking for the possible choices of books (from IB curriculum) that teachers can pick from for Juniors and Seniors.


Thank you in advance  ;D

This sounds to me semi legal. like www.freeexampapers.com. I am prepared to fioght for this on the forum, but it may need to be restricted to upper classes of members. Say what you think.

Kabobi:
If I understand you correctly, you're saying that it's going be difficult to acquire them and in the event of success, they will only be available to upper class members?

By the way, what are upper class members?

Is there anything I can do to help?  ;D thanks for the quick reply.

i want to provoke discussion.

Kabobi:
Well, I don't see why IBO doesn't make these readily available so students can expect what curriculum they will be studying. Also, (and the reason that I want these) they could be handy to make sure that the teachers are actually following IBO standards so the students wouldn't be screwed in time for examinations. For example, in my situation, we are studying the most random books/authors while neglecting not only the classical cannon such as British lit and Russian lit, but also Byron, Whitman, etc. Therefore, I'm fairly certain that my teachers are not following the IB curriculum at all......and when I inquire as to the reason that we are not studying these classics, they tell me that they are not listed in the PBL and thus not in the curriculum, which sounds ridiculous to me. I personally think that my English teachers (who are teaching IB for the first time) have not even studied the classics so they have no idea how to teach it......

So all in all, I need these not only for my personal usage but also to make sure that the rest of my classmates are not screwed for the IB exams next year because we have not studied IB required/recommended materials.
