Aha, you're a lot closer to a topic than I am! All I know is that I'm writing mine on history (probably). If you think you have some really good ideas and that you'll enjoy writing about something, then the end product will turn out better than if it was something you weren't interested in. Maybe to narrow it down instead of just "depicting its time period's culture" you could do something more specific like symbolism, theme or character development to depict the time period? (Sorry, literature isn't really my strongest subject). I haven't read Catcher in the Rye but Great Gatsby has a LOT of symbols you could talk about, as well as themes you could go into. Hope this helps! Feel free to message me if you still have any questions :) 

Hi, do you mean your desktop background? What are you doing to make it your background and what operating system do you have? If you're in windows, when making the picture your background there should be the option Fit the Screen under How Should the Picture Be Positioned. If you tell me what operating system you're using I can better answer the question. 

Oh, my bad aha (: And I don't know who and what that is but I'm sure you'll do great on your EE!

Do you mean like a nutriment? Mmm, that sounds kind of vague, maybe try narrowing it down a bit? Also, since it’s science based it would be nice if you could conduct experiments, otherwise if not it will need to be theoretical. I'm still just starting my EE as well, and I still don't have a topic!! Any thoughts from other IB'ers?

Here’s a link for a bunch of lab reports from IB survival that you can look through though! 

Just focus on making sure that the steps you took to solve the problem are explained clearly and concisely - remember, it’s not an English paper so your writing doesn’t play a huge role Only if your grammar and diction are so bad that your teacher has to re-read some parts and does not know what you are saying at all is when you will get docked points.  My teacher said that it’s more important that you explain yourself really well than get the right answer - which is why “got the right answer” is not one of the criterion on the rubric. What you’re saying about your writing sounding esoteric is going to happen because most people aren’t going to understand what you’re talking about, but they’re not the target audience. As long as your teacher and whoever grades can understand it you’ll be fine - if you explain it clearly they’ll get it because they know the subject really well. Just don’t go out of your way to use fancy words, and use words that are concise and to the point. 

Hey there, I don’t take Business and Management myself so I can’t help you out on that. ): If anyone has an answer for anon please share your thoughts!
