Reading Extended Essays
It was both insightful and helpful to be able to see previous extended essays. The essay I picked up in particular was very well written in terms of:
- Content - it was coherent and concise, focused on the subject matter. The student didn't waffle at all and maintained an objective point of view. Providing both for and against arguments.
- Quotes/referencing - she used minimal direct quotations and paraphrased the most, which added more of a smooth flow throughout her essay
- Structure - effective. Used short sentences, which may seem rigid but a clear way to get the message across, keeps writing focused and not overly descriptive. Point - Quote - Explanation structure.
- Conclusion - A simple summary, no new information included
- Sources - provided a variety, from online sources to books
