Extended Essay practice: Turn an EE interest into a focused research question

A student has the broad EE interest "how a newspaper represented a public transport strike". Choose the route that turns it into a focused research question without writing the question for them. Select the research-question focus, subject terms, research method, and question 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.

Worked practice: build the decision

Work through the Extended Essay decision: subject fit, evidence handling, analysis or synthesis, then an integrity or reflection check.
