Attention IB Diploma candidates

As I'm sure you're aware, each IB diploma candidate must complete an Extended Essay as part of their graduation requirement. If you are thinking about doing your EE in history, I would love to be your adviser. Keep in mind, if you do a world history topic Mr. Weber would most likely be your adviser. You may also expand on your IA topic, however, you would need to double the amount of sources if you decide to go that route.

Just some food for thought.
