Getting the Words for your Extended Essay on the Page

The essay's structure is really essential. It aids students in organizing their arguments and making the most of the evidence gathered.

Understand what you need to write:

There are six components to the final product that must be submitted. The "Presentation" section has more information about each element. Please keep in mind that the order in which these elements are listed here is not always the order in which they should be written.

Six required elements of the extended essay:  

1. Title page  

2. Contents page  

3. Introduction  

4. Body of the essay  

5. Conclusion  

6. References and bibliography

Before starting writing make sure you have material regarding the above-mentioned list. We will not discuss how to write in this post. In fact, this blog is about how to force yourself to get your Extended Essay writing on the paper in front of you.

Be skeptical of your sources:

By now, your Extended Essay should have all of the greatest sources available. You've analyzed and drawn conclusions using them. You're content with them. You shouldn't be, though.

Even if you used the greatest material you could find (and you don't want to appear lazy), you should be the one to call out the flaws in your study, not your Extended Essay evaluator. This defies logic, yet go ahead and do it.

Pointing up the flaws in your research demonstrates that you understand how to improve next time (which impresses us) and that you're using an academic rather than a self-conscious approach (you can be objective).

Try your hand at some serious academic work:

Few pupils in high school have ever utilized Google Scholar (their site for research, i.e. from university professors in your subject). Why? Because it can become tedious that I'll grant you. However, high school pupils who can read, comprehend, and explain portions of real scholarly articles are extremely outstanding. So try to pick one that is relevant to your Extended Essay, print it out, and spend a couple of hours combing through Dictionary.com, Wikipedia, and Google to figure out what the article is about. Also, include a handful of quotes from it in your Extended Essay (smartly).

Make Your Extended Essay Language Perfect:

Paying attention to your language, tone, and style will save you a lot of time in the long run. It is preferable to keep things simple. To get to the 4000-word limit quickly, resist the temptation to write as many long, intricate words as possible. So relax, breathe deeply, and write only what you need to write.
