Hello all. I am a Junior in IB about to become a Senior, which means that the whole EE thing is being shoved down our throats. I chose Economics for my area of study due to a combination of interest and ease (for myself). However, I am having trouble finding a topic. My teacher wants us to do a microeconomic study because in his words "IB grades those higher". I live in Daytona, which has the famous Daytona International Speedway, so I was initially thinking to maybe analyze it's yearly economic impact on Volusia County (the county in which it's located). However, I'm having second thoughts. W

Here's the research question: How did the Salem witch trials reflect the Americans' point of view on gender and power in the 17th century in the US?

So I already have lots of sources for my IA and I think I can start reading and actually doing the internal assessment already but I feel overwhelmed by the amount of information. And it's not even that much, I have like six or seven sources, one of them is super long but I guess I can find the most useful part, and the other ones are like 10-20 pages. I just don't know where to start, Reading all the sources and trying to find relevant information to my question seems so difficult, plus I haven't even decided my question. I know more or less how it will be, but my teacher said that it's easie

Hey guys! This is rather urgent and I'm actually very worried. I was wondering if it was even possible to switch our mentors for EE at this point? Our school had us upload our EE's to the IBS site at the beginning of March, and technically we were supposed to have sent the actual EE for marking to our mentor's mid February via email, but because of a bunch of things (mix of personal and just procrastination, very stupid I know) I only finished by the time we actually had to submit. Because of covid all of our communication is online, and my mentor never responded to my email about marking the

Hi! I’m currently searching for some topics for language B (in my case, English B HL) extended essay. And I thought I found my one: doing a cat.2 (probably) about the musical Hamilton, which is my favourite musical ever. For analysis, I though about songs Alexander Hamilton, My Shot and Who lives, Who Dies , Who Tells Your Story. As far as I’m concerned, the last song I mentioned is clean, but in Alexander Hamilton the words such as b*stard and w*ore are used, and in My Shot sh*t. Is there any rule that there can be no swearings in the language B extended essay? I seriously love the topic

I have been researching topics for a while now and have come up with an idea that I like. My idea is to investigate the effect of the angle of attack of a frisbee on its trajectory/displacement. The topic would include investigating how lift is generated, how torque comes into play, the temperature and pressure of that air. I have seen a few extended essay exemplars and their topics seem much more complicated and advanced. Do you think my idea is suitable for an EE?

French Revolution History IA Formulating my question for my HL History IA... The American Revolution played a significant role in starting the French Revolution.

Hey! Does anyone have any advice on how to format a solid ESS EE? My topic is on how ocean acidification affects coral reefs in the Pacific Ocean. I have no idea how to write my structure or arguments.

Sooo I've been juggling a couple of ideas but my first was to analyse Avatar: The Last Airbender as a EE in Film. That was pretty quickly rejected because of the fact that writing an EE in a course that isn't offered in your school is just a really bad idea... I got really discouraged after something I was so excited to do was rejected flat out. Anyhow, I'm now writing my EE in Lang and Lit and analyzing ads. My research question is something along the lines of: To what extent are traditional gender roles projected in contemporary America through Super Bowl commercials? It has been a

Hi all! So basically, I had a topic ready for my EE, but then my teacher, who is also my EE mentor, decided that she wanted to put the book that I am researching for my EE as a free-choice for my English class, Little did I know, there is a new rule stating that we can't write EE's on books that we analyze in class, so now I have to change my topic and I need help. I was thinking of doing something on how eating disorders are portrayed in literature, and thus focusing on couple of literary works.

Hey there, My EE is in Swedish B and I have my RQ as 'How does X Hip hop rapper from 1990s respective to X Hip hop rapper from 2010s use 'the sociolect' to clarify messages?' I tried translating it to English but instead of 'the sociolect' I have actually mentioned the sociolect itself and the rappers namnes as well.

I have a total of 3 books to support me (excluding other internet resources), where one of them is a researcher into this specific sociolec
