On 8th, 15th and 29th of November 2024, all DP1 students were attending the Extended Essay workshop in the library. The workshop was conducted by the school librarian, Ms. Amiera.

In this workshop, students learnt about the important about Academic Integrity as an IB Diploma students. Students were also learnt how to find related information for their EE topic with the use of information seeking strategies and became an information detective to evaluate the information before they use it for the academic writing.

Lastly, students learnt how to use in-text citation in the body of the content. They also learnt the differences between narrative and parentheses in-text citation. Also, they learnt the important of bibliography citation for references.

We wish our DP 1 students will choose the suitable topic for their Extended Essay and apply all the information literacy skills in finding best information for the topic.
