Extended Essay practice: Narrow Extended Essay scope and feasibility

A student is testing the feasibility of an EE about "how a newspaper represented a public transport strike" using archived newspaper articles from a defined month. Choose the route that narrows the scope responsibly. Select the scope limit, evidence access, word-count control, and scope risk. 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.
