Structuring the EE
How your EE should be structured
How you structure your essay is really important!
Having a clear framework will help you to organise your arguments and make best use of the evidence you collected during your reading.
The IB helps you with this!
🙂
There are six required elements but you can add more sections depending on your essay subject and topic:
- 1.Title page - This must only include your title, research question, subject and the word count.
- 2.Contents page - Number your pages and include a contents page at the start of your essay.
- 3.Introduction - Tell readers what to expect in your essay.
- 4.Body (research, analysis, discussion and evaluation) - The requirements for this section vary from subject to subject, but essentially this should take the form of a reasoned argument which tells the reader what relevant evidence has been discovered, where/how it has been discovered and how it supports the argument.
- 5.Conclusion - Say what has been achieved, including notes of any limitations and any questions that have not been resolved.
- 6.References and/or bibliography.
