To guide IB students through the Extended Essay process.

EE Investigation Days: February 2024

EE Investigation Days

During the EE Investigation Days you get time off timetable to start investigating your topic - finding and working with sources and/or planning experiments and data collection. It is vital you make good use of these days as this is your springboard to getting started with your EE, and the last formal, organised support you will have until the Writing Days. The resources and links on this page are intended to help you to make the most of this time.

Introduction to the Investigation Days

If you missed the introduction to the EE Investigation Days or want to check on something that was said, here is the presentation.  Just remember, if you are not sure about something, ASK!

Similarly, if you missed the Reflections workshop or want to check something, here is that presentation:

Investigative Journal

An excellent way to keep track of your investigation. Use one page per source and don't forget to insert a citation at the top of the page. If you choose not to use it, think about what you will use instead.

This is an ideal tool for using in your Researcher's Reflection Space.

Annotated bibliography

This resource will help you to keep track of all the different sources you find. Once you start working with each source in more detail, you will also need a tool like the Investigative Journal to organise your notes.
