Our popular Extended Essay Workshop returns! This workshop is held over the course of four days at the University of Denver. The session is led by our two DCHS essay coordinators, Leah Schultz and Kim Clever. Students will have access to DU's extensive library facilities and will receive guidance on a variety of Extended Essay requirements such as topic research, preparing their essay outline and much more.
The expectation of this workshop is that participating students attend the March mini-workshop (see above) and come to this session with their defined research question.
The registration form and details on the fee for this workshop will be mailed to all IB Juniors in the Spring of 2009. |
