Tips for writing Section II (Investigation) https://owltutors.co.uk/tips-success-write-section-2-history-ia/

Have you read an example Section II?
If so, did you pay attention to the amount of evidence they used?
Is the evidence all quotations? No
Do they include some quotations? Absolutely, but they shouldn’t be extremely long!
If they paraphrase evidence do they still provide a citation? Yes
How do they go about introducing different perspectives?
Have you looked at the Section II tips link in the instructions of the assignment?
After you read how to write the introduction, go and look at an example IA.
Again, starting the writing process can really help revise the question. You will see what your evidence truly focuses on and then can narrow down the question from there.
Don’t have a question at all?
Step 1: Research an event, policy or person (from the topics)
Step 2: Look for a debate amongst historians- Avoid obvious things that set up a narrative ex. Did the Rwandan Genocide impact Rwandans or To what extent did the Rwandan genocide impact Tutsis?

The pdf titled 'IB History Topics for IA Overview' will give you some ideas of topics you can focus i.e. Cuban Missile Crisis, Cuban revolution, Rise of Hitler, Juan Peron, Augusto Pinochet, etc. Once you have a general topic selected, you want to narrow it down to try and create a specific question that promotes investigation (examples provided in the Google Doc.)

*If you haven't completed the History IA background info document, you need to do that.
*If you have completed the History IA background info, use the source organizer to start gathering sources around your topic. Remember, you need to generate a question that is DEBATABLE , meaning their should be opposing views surrounding the topic.
