Embedded Files
The topic of the extended essay is the subject, issue or theme that you are investigating within a specific DP subject or world studies area of study. The topic, which develops during the initial thinking about the EE, should later be reflected in the wording of the title.
The title of the EE is a clear, summative statement that specifically focuses the topic being researched. It appears on the title page. A title should:
be short, descriptive and succinct
not be phrased as a question
use key words that connect with the topic and the DP subject or world studies area of study
attract the interest of the reader.
The research question derives from the title and is expressed as a question that is intended to be answered through researching and writing the EE. It appears on the title page and could also be visible as a header throughout the essay. It should:
be clear and focused
provide a path through which you can undertake achievable research
use key words that connect with the topic, the title, and the DP subject or world studies area of study
support the development of an argument.(“Initial Guidance on Research and Writing”)
