The purpose of your extended essay is to allow you to explore a topic of interest in depth, utilizing research and critical thinking skills to produce a well-developed and well-supported argument or analysis.
You should choose a topic that you are genuinely interested in and that falls within one of the six subject areas for the extended essay (Language and Literature, Language Acquisition, Individuals and Societies, Sciences, Mathematics, and the Arts). It is also important to choose a topic that is specific and focused enough to be thoroughly researched and analyzed within the word limit.
An extended essay typically consists of an introduction, body, and conclusion. The introduction should provide background information on the topic and a clear research question or thesis statement. The body should include evidence and analysis to support your argument, and the conclusion should summarize your main points and provide a final reflection on the significance of your findings.
The most common method of research for an extended essay is through the use of primary and secondary sources. Primary sources are original documents or data, while secondary sources are interpretations or analyses of primary sources. It is important to use a variety of sources and to properly cite all information used in your essay.
Your supervisor will provide guidance and support throughout the extended essay process. They will help you refine your research question, provide feedback on your progress and drafts, and ensure that you are meeting the requirements and expectations of the extended essay. It is important to communicate regularly with your supervisor and ask for help when needed.
