Analysis and Critical Thinking in IB MYP Grade 5 English Language and Literature
In IB MYP Grade 5 English Language and Literature, Analysis and Critical Thinking gives advanced learners (ages 15–16) the chance to practise constructing a reasoned argument and critically analysing complex, competing viewpoints.
MYP English Language and Literature is assessed against four criteria (A: analysing, B: organizing, C: producing text and D: using language). Regular practice with analysis and critical thinking builds the knowledge and skills those criteria reward.
What learners practise
- Constructing a reasoned argument
- Critically analysing complex, competing viewpoints
For students
Work through the worksheets, practice questions and revision resources at your own pace. Check your answers, then redo anything that felt tricky and explain each answer in your own words.
For revision
Use these resources for homework, end-of-unit revision and catching up on anything missed in class.
For teachers
Use analysis and critical thinking activities as a starter, homework or retrieval practice, and mix free and premium resources to differentiate.
Keep a small notebook of new words, and use each one in a sentence of your own within a day or two.
