Hey everyone, I'm currently writing my economics commentary and have to hand in the draft after this weekend, and I just feel very lost with the structure and connecting things to each other, like the diagrams. If anyone could give me some tips I would be extremely grateful.

So I will be doing my Extended Essay on either China's Cultural Revolution or before it; specifically, either the Red Guard, the Wuhan Incident or the Hundred Flowers Campaign. But I'm wondering where I could find primary sources. Are there any specific websites or books? Any online archives that I could access? Any pictures, newspaper/magazine articles, etc. from the time would be really useful! Also figures and statistics (of anything) would be great, but it's difficult to find them, especially for individual cities. I'm not sure about this, but I think that the Chinese

I'm currently looking for an article for my international economics commentary and I had a few questions. My teacher isn't letting me use an article from the internet because apparently the IB has a rule saying that only one out of three articles can be from an internet source, while the other 2 have to be from a print source.

Hey guys! I'm starting my first economics commentary. I'm having a lot of difficulty finding a GOOD econ article to use specially since everyone already chose a topic which can't be repeated so smoking tax increases can't be done.

Please guys, I'm kinda desperate over here I appreciate/ am grateful for any tips/comments/help etc given!

Hi! I'm starting the first commentary for my Economics portfolio and want to focus on the topic of market failure. I have a few articles but am unsure which one is the best to do a commentary on? Apparently it is better that it doesn't mention any economic policies or methods to improve situations at all?? (My Economics teacher briefly looked at the articles which I showed him, but was not of much help!) - First article on obesity in young children: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/30/science/obesity-takes-hold-early-in-life-study-finds.html?_r=0 - Second article on increasing the smoking tax:

So my IAs are due tomorrow, and although I have four commentaries completed one of them has a date of 2007. Our teacher didn't tell us about the six-month rule until it was too late and I have no time to redo it with a similar article. My question is - how important is it for the article to be recent? Will I lose points in a certain criterion or will my commentary be cancelled altogether? Please do reply soon, it's due tomorrow and I need to find out if it's worth just lying about the date or sacrificing a few points!
