Ee Process 5 marks Difficulty 2

Extended Essay practice: Organise an Extended Essay line of reasoning

A student is outlining an EE about "whether a school recycling campaign changed behaviour". Choose the route that keeps the line of reasoning controlled by the research question. Select the argument thread, section function, counter-evidence move, and coherence check. Then answer this in your own words: why would this route keep the EE research process focused and authentic? AI will analyse your reasoning, evidence, research judgement, documentation, reflection quality, and expression.

Worked practice: build the decision

Work through the Extended Essay decision: subject fit, evidence handling, analysis or synthesis, then an integrity or reflection check.
