We do it at the start of their second year in IB - starting it in the Summer with most of the work being done in the 4th Term of the IB course.
There may be a better time to do it!

We have narrowed down the options and the resourcing... which is supposed to help them! But they tend to default to doing searches online rather than grapple with the demands of reading lengthy texts

How can we assist students in the research process, especially for those who are stuck behind the Great Firewall.

I actually really love it because most of our students are too scared to take history because of all the reading, so we end up getting a small number of students who are obsessed with history. The IA allows them to focus on the topics they love, so they end up being very motivated.

- Gives students a chance to study a topic outside of the syllabus
- Gives weaker students or students who did not study history in grade 9-10 to choose a topic from the syllabus to reinforce their understanding
- It's an opportunity for the students to earn a higher grade to help balance out their Paper 2 or 3 grades (especially if they struggle with essay skills or knowledge retention)

There is the academic challenge - creating some quality research and synthesis of ideas in a structured way (I'm not sure the way the IA allocates marks is very straight-forward)

There is also the timing issue - how do students properly engage with the IA given all the alternative demands on their times as busy IB students...?

I am actually in charge of making a new curriculum for key stage 4 in which students will do a modified IA for history. I'm planning on making it more approachable for students, but something that will help prepare them for the DP IA.

The IA is a great chance for students to practice performing OPCVL analyses, which are key skills for paper 1. It is also good practice for students to construct and support arguments, which are especially important skills for papers 2/3.
