If you teach in the northern hemisphere (or are a ‘May session’ school) you are probably up to your neck in revision with your second year IB students as they have limited time left before their exams start.
Try to remember the extended essays though. The perfect time to start extended essays is when the second year IB students have left. As scientists, we have a tough time with the EE. A lower percentage of students get the higher grades (just look at the IBO statistical bulletin) plus the students need to carry out lab work (and we need to supervise them!)
