The direct or indirect use of the words of another person MUST be sourced. EACH fact, idea, quote, chart, graph, picture, number not your own must be sourced (with page number). Primary sources over secondary sources. Do not rely uncritically on Internet sources. Did we mention: Read the Guidelines (“The Blue Book”). This is NOT the place for interdisciplinary topics. Make sure your RQ is in the right Subject – your essay will be submitted to an examiner in YOUR subject. Use the language and vocabulary of your field. This is NOT a review of the literature-your voice must come through loud and clear. It’s an argument with supporting information. Use EVIDENCE, DATA not description, chronological lists. If you fail the EE or TOK, you must earn at least 28 points on the exams to earn the Diploma (instead of 24)*. If you fail BOTH the TOK paper AND the EE. If you write an EE but fail to meet with your advisor. TOTAL possible points: 36 See pages 25-31, Blue Book. One student per Research Question – this YOUR question. Ethical considerations in design of experiments – no experiments that cause pain or stress to living organisms. Cannot recycle topics/papers you have written for IB classes. What is the impact of international coffee prices on the standard of living in Guatemala. ENGLISH: How does the portrayal of Joan of Arc by Shaw, Anouilh, and Schiller differ? BIOLOGY: An experimental study to determine if Vitamin C levels in orange differ in supermarket vs restaurants. 
BIOLOGY: What causes cancer? HISTORY: What was the impact of the civil rights movement? The History of _.ECONOMICS: Does globalization affect Turkey? ENGLISH, Group 1: What symbols are employed by F.Think of the RQ as the map for the essay – don’t create a map to nowhere.There are NO good essays with BAD research questions. If you haven’t changed your mind, you haven’t spent enough time on it yet.
If you’re not confused, you haven’t spent enough time on it yet.Science topics are most successful when you conduct an experiment.But big enough so you may collect and/or generate data for analysis.Limited in scope and sufficiently narrow to allow you to examine an issue in depth.It is not recommended that you do an essay in a subject you have not studied Your essay must use scholarly language of the field so it must reflect your study of the field.Essays submitted in Group 2 must be written in that language.Choose a subject that is interesting and challenging to you and that you have taken an IB class in.Choose a narrow RESEARCH QUESTION that will focus your research and argument.Getting to the Research Question S-T-Q Subject…. IB will not accept an essay w/o an Advisor.Will complete a Supervisor’s Report at the completion of the essay.Will advise and guide you through the research.YOU are responsible for making appointments.Make appointments – don’t do drive by drop ins.Provide you with an EE supervisor based on your research question.+ Monthly notebook checks w/ homework * Depends on final school calendar.Due Date: End of first semester your senior year.Based on DATA and EVIDENCE from your research.
A carefully constructed analytical answer to a very precise question. It is NOT your opinion, your thoughts, or your beliefs. It is NOT everything you ever learned about your subject. It is NOT a book report or plot summary. Essay is an analytical answer to a question YOU develop. Format is a formal research paper – scholarly journal. Prepares you for independent research expected by universities. In a topic YOU choose from one of the IB subject areas. Independent research supervised by a teacher. THE EXTENDED ESSAY“A study in depth of a limited topic” THE EXTENDED ESSAY It’s just a paper The myth is worse than the reality You will spend more time worrying and whining than working You will do it all in 1 or 2 weekends, so why not tackle it THIS semester It’s like baking a cake – follow the recipe
