Extended Essay practice: Plan language and literature EE textual analysis

A student is planning a language or literature EE about "whether a compost trial improved school garden soil quality" using pH readings, growth notes, and compost composition records. Choose the route that keeps analysis text-based and interpretive. Select the textual focus, textual evidence, textual method, and context boundary. 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.
