Hello Again

IB Students,

You will write Part D in the lab tomorrow and Wednesday. Part D will be due this FRIDAY!!

Here are some helpful hints about Part D:
1. Don't forget to cite in Part D when it is called for (i.e., using information that is not your own). However, Part D should not have a ton of citations.

2. Think of your IA this way: Part B was where you placed the dots and Part D is where you will connect the dots. Part B contained the FACTS   Part D will be the WHY. 

3. Make sure you place your investigation in its historical context. Please read the handout I gave you in class on Thursday. Review your IA Handbook as well. I will review these things briefly at the start of class tomorrow. 

4. You need to discuss multiple perspectives on your topic. This information comes from analyzing two of your sources. For example, check out this brief section of analysis regarding the start of WWI:

Compare Fay’s The Origins of the World War to Berghahn’s Imperial Germany, 1871-1914: Economy, Society, Culture, and Politics. Whereas Fay argues that multiple factors contributed to the start of the First World War, Berghahn claims that Germany and its aggressive foreign policy is responsible for causing the war. 

5. You need to have a strong idea about what you're going to write in Part D. Please give this some thought TODAY!! This section is the most difficult of the IA. 

SEE YOU TOMORROW. I should have Part C graded by the end of school tomorrow.
