“Reverse Engineering” of IB History Exemplars: Applying the i2Flex Methodology to Improve Students' Analytical Writing
Abstract
The following chapter traces the philosophy and rationale behind one application of the i2Flex blended learning methodology in the context of an International Baccalaureate (IB) History class. The author shares his goals and processes for assisting students to improve their analytical writing in one of the most challenging IB courses through a process he calls, “reverse engineering” of exemplars. The lesson design carefully combines phases of the student engagement, first focusing on the use of technology to provide students with careful guidance as they work independently to examine and assess exemplar papers, with emphasis on deepening their understanding of the official IB History Assessment criteria. The chapter emphasizes the goal of maximizing the collaborative face-to-face classroom design to further students' understanding. Throughout the chapter the author reflects on how the methodology has shifted students' thinking and processing; additionally, he shares the challenges that he has faced in implementing the process.
