Thank you for the great video! IB English is my weakest subject right now and you've made it so enjoyable trying to improve at my skills by showing us just how exciting the textual analysis can be. You both have made me laugh several times in the video and I'll definitely walk into exams this month feeling as prepared as ever!

Great to hear! We do have fun making these videos and we are super pleased it is helping give students the confidence and skills in their exams and more importantly in their next step going forward. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

@@ibenglishguys The exam went so well! I was able to articulate exactly what I was thinking and I made sure to plan out my whole essay before I jumped in. Thank you so much to the both of you!

Going through your videos before my Paper 1 and I'm feeling a lot more comfortable with them and the more visuals-based prompts thanks to your videos! You guys are honestly such a helpful resource and I'm glad my English teacher showed this to us, thank you :)

We are so happy to be a supplement to what your teacher is providing! Teamwork!

Is it better to analyze by panels or author choice

[@ibenglishguys]

You have to make those choices. Of course, you should look at a comic holistically and think about the entire piece and how it is composed. You also need to zero in and look at specific panels. While you are in a panel, you should talk about many author choices there. Hope that makes sense. There are many ways to explore any given text. Not one way.
