Extended Essay on operation blue star

[dilpreetgrewal]

Hi I am writing an extended essay on the Sikh genocide of 1984.

And I am wondering what should I include such as what kind of literature pieces, and what do I have to do for the Hypotheses or arguments part and the Proposed Methodology part.

Read a sample IA if structure is what you're worried about.

"Literature pieces" - by this I assume you mean sources? That depends on what you find/dig up. It could be general textbooks, it could be a diary of someone who lived through the genocidal period, it could be anything really (primary or secondary). Ideally, you should have one primary source at least.

Hypothesis (noun): A proposition, or set of propositions, set forth as an explanation for the occurrence of some specified group of phenomena, either asserted merely as a provisional conjecture to guide an investigation (i.e. a working hypothesis) or accepted as highly probable in the light of established facts...

...or to put it in layman's terms: "What do you think is the answer to the research question headlining the investigation of your EE?"

Methodology (noun): A system, strategy or plan used in a particular area of study or activity...

...or: "How do you propose one should go about answering the question you've posed in your EE?" (i.e. ensuring that your suggested system (proposed methodology) is clear and coherent.)
