Researching Research

Intrepid Extend Essay writers: for Tuesday, please interview a senior IB diploma candidate about her process in researching and writing her extended essay.  In your discussion, explore the following aspects of her work:

• What approaches worked well, and which were dead-ends?
• The next time she embarks on such a project, what would she do differently?  Consider schedule and time management, her approach, other.
• What about the adventure was most rewarding, most challenging, most frustrating?

Again, your conversation should focus on the process rather than the product.  Take notes as you talk and listen, and come to class ready to share and consider what you've discovered.   I would like each of you to meet with a different senior, thus affording us a broad collective base of knowledge. Happy hunting.
