  8. History IA on collapse of the Tokugawa Shogunate

    So this is my history IA and it was about whether or not the arrival of Commodore Perry in 1853 had more of an impact on the collapse of the Tokugawa Shogunate than the increasing peasant revolts. Keep in mind that this is still old curriculum, but I hope it's helpful. Pre-moderation it got 18/25 (one mark from a 7) and it stayed at 18/25 post-moderation.

  10. History SL IA: To what extent did the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s affect the USA's Racial Intolerance?

    This IA got a 7. I don't know what exact mark it received, but it is likely a low 7 (I will update the description if ever I find out). It is not very hard to get a 7 in a history IA as long as you follow the format and criteria as closely as possible. My IA serves as good evidence for this as I did not read or buy a single book in my list of sources, instead just read the previews available on amazon or google books. Here is a more accurate list of sources:
    I do not recommend you do the same thing, I simply did this because of time constraints (our teacher only told us about the IA about 2 or 3 months before the final deadline, which is not enough to read 6 books), but I am just telling you this so that you don't despair.
    Good luck!

  16. IA - Al Capone and the St Valentine's Day Massacre

    I don't know what happened with this HI, it was moderated down from 23 to 16. However, this still was a 16, so I'd say it can be useful. The topic was: To what extent is the claim that Al Capone’s outfit was responsible for the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre justified?

    Submitted

  17. History IA - 1944 Warsaw Uprising

    My HL History IA. The topic was "Why did the Russians refuse to help the Polish Underground's uprising against the Nazis in 1944?." I don't know for sure what this got, but it earned a 22/25 pre-moderation and I earned a 6 overall. I'll edit that later if I learn anything. So I think it's fine for use.

  19. History Route 2 SL Internal Assessment, November 2011 Session. Score: 7

    Pretty bad work by my standards, largely because it was done mostly in first-year; and as History was an anticipated subject for me that was Year 10, when I didn't know much about IB, or in general. Still got a 7 in the end, though. I don't have a copy of the full marksheet, unfortunately, so I don't know where the marks were lost. Pre-moderated score was 23, got 20 after moderation - don't think it was one of the samples sent out, though. If you're doing your IA on a similar topic, don't put too much faith in a lot of the references used - most were just flicked through.
