Is your research question...
- Clear: it provides enough specifics that one’s audience can easily understand its purpose without needing additional explanation.
- Focused: it is narrow enough that it can be answered thoroughly in the space the writing task allows.
- Concise: it is expressed in the fewest possible words.
- Complex: it is not answerable with a simple “yes” or “no,” but rather requires synthesis and analysis of ideas and sources prior to composition of an answer.
- Arguable: its potential answers are open to debate rather than accepted facts.
Helpful Tips and Tactics:
- Mindset is important. Do not think of the extended essay as an assignment; think of it as a self-proposed goal and opportunity. Have fun with it! Your dedication and enjoyment will shine through your writing!
- Make sure your topic (and therefore your essay) adheres to a Subject Guide. Your topic should relate to a DP class that you are taking at Huron.
- Start your extended essay early. Give yourself time to think about your topic, plan, research and begin the writing process with less stress— give yourself time to enjoy it without being overwhelmed.
- Pace your research. Establish a timeline with mini-goals to achieve. This will help you organize your research and make incremental progress (time management).
- Create planning diagrams. Color code your research and quotes to organize your findings and map everything to its correlated section within your essay.
