Extended Essay practice: Plan an Extended Essay research strategy

A student is planning research for an EE about "how exchange-rate changes affected a local tourism business". Choose the route that creates a traceable research strategy before drafting. Select the search strategy, source range, note plan, and research-log 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.
