Better late than never, or so they say. A few weeks ago, I asked for IB schools to
send me the titles they use in their English and Theory of Knowledge IB courses.
Several of you asked for the results of my query: the following is a compilation of
what I received. If given, I’ve listed the grade level where each title is used.
Some titles appeared on more than one list.
