I am planning to write my essay on English B, with the topic most likely being religious imagery and themes in the Narnia Chronicles. However I didn’t find many sources but I do think I can get and analyze the content by myself. Would having very little sources be bad? Can I use articles that analyze religion in different books? Thanks a lot There should be a ton of sources for this topic. Finding sources just comes down to knowing where to look/how to look. I'd recommend websites with scholarly resources, if your school give you online library access you might have access to paid databases rather than just free ones. But overall, I remember at least one teacher at my school didn't seem to think that not having a large amount of lit criticism was fine.

Thxxx i really need help anne x Hi, You should try use a thesis just like you would write for any essay in your lit. class. If that's still not clear, you should talk to your teacher and/or check out some the pinned threads in the literature forum on this site. Best of luck.

Ellixttt Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 (edited) I'm about to start the first year of IB. I know I want to do an English A1 extended essay, and I want to use the book "the name of the rose" by Umberto Eco, but I still have time to think and narrow down my idea (I know it's very vague right now and I need to create a more focused research question later) I'm not sure if I will compare it to one of Umberto's other works or comparing it to another novel with a similar genre, or if I will focus on aspects of just this book... the book Eifleheim by Micheal Flynn also interests me, so that could be another option any suggestions are welcome!

Ellixttt Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 to anyone thinking of doing an A1 English literature EE, the website "open library" is good to find and read books, especially if you don't know which books to base your essay on!

Hi, I suggest you first review the guide for doing an English Lit EE: it will provide sample RQs, areas of exploration and the parameters you can work within. I can not stress enough the importance of a focused RQ: the tighter the focus, the easier the EE is the organize and write. In my experience, a well-focused RQ leads to a higher score more often than not. By way of introduction, I am a former DP English Lit and ToK teacher, university counselor, MYP/DP Coordinator and principal of IB schools. I now work full time to support students such as yourself, with the DP, essay writing and university counseling. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help!

Certified_IB_Cultist Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 Mine is: The Philosophy of Reality AKA The Philosophy of Life, The Universe, and Everything In It I talked about reality, and threw in a few more references (I think 42?). I looked at Aristotle, Kant, Plato (this EE is one of the reasons I hate Plato) and a little Hume. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeKumar Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 I have difficulty understanding, how I should go about a world study on Economics and Physics. (An example question that I have thought of is "What proportion of electric to petrol/diesel engines in hybrid cars would provide a more desirable vehicle to LEDC's like Sri lanka.) But I have difficulty deciding whether this is eco and phy or eco and bm because factors such as price of batteries and fuel come into the picture. Could you suggest how this could be tweaked to fit into eco a little better. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe better to ask for help to proffesionaly best essay help. It will be interesting to read the finished result. Especially about the healing method witches use. Do you believe witches exist?

Emilita Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 Well, I’m doing my EE on ITGS. My topic is e-waste. Research question: “To what extent does e-waste surpass the positive impact of ICT on the environment?” Do you think it’s a good one?? And, also, I need advice on how to start writing my EE. I have all the information but I can’t get on with the writing. I don’t know how to start. Any advice is useful, thanks. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ievaz Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 Hello! I reeaaally need help in narrowing down my EE topic. (in bio) Because of covid-19 I couldn't go to the laboratory to carry out my initial idea, so I'm trying hard to come up with another topic. I was thinking of using dna databases as a primary source. I had an idea to compare some dog breed dnas, but I can't tell if there is any potential. What do you think? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m fairly late on this!! You’ve probably graduated already by now. I’m both an IB student and I love Araki’s works. I’m curious on what your essay is about !
