Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the EE Camp is taking a modified format and approach than previous years. Field trips are canceled, and the EE session will be held at DCHS Library. The EE Coordinators – Mrs. Kimberly Clever, Mrs. Theresa Hemming, and Mr. Kelse Risner – have developed a plan to best serve the EE Class of 2023. We all understand our students are very much overwhelmed and the adjustment back to school has not been easy.
Thus, the EE Camp will be held in three evening sessions on Wednesdays when students would normally have TOK. We trust that our students will not feel that this is more work to do. Having these sessions on Wednesdays will not take time from TOK as the students will be able to meet the required number of days. The three sessions have been scheduled as follows:
1st SESSION: Camp #1
Wednesday, January 5th, 2022
Time: 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm
2nd SESSION: Camp #2
Wednesday, February 23rd, 2022
Time: 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm
3rd SESSION: Camp #3
Wednesday, May 11th, 2022
Time: 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm
IB STUDENTS’ EXTENDED ESSAYS ARE DUE IN THE FALL OF THEIR SENIOR YEAR (November 2022)
Completing the Extended Essay (EE) takes a significant time commitment from students for planning, research, and writing to be successful. This Workshop enables students to begin focusing their efforts early in the summer, and to turn in a quality first draft to their EE advisor soon after school starts in the fall.
Instructors for the workshop are Ms. Kim Clever, Ms. Theresa Hemming, and Mr. Kelse Risner, IB Extended Essay Coordinators at DCHS. During the workshop they will describe the Extended Essay process, answer questions, provide support for narrowing research questions and guide student research.
