in the works cited using the following
style:
Figure 1. Harry Potter and Voldemort
final battle debate from Andrew Sims
et al.; “Show 166”; MuggleCast;

Miscellaneous: Appendices
● Appendices are not an essential
section of the extended essay.
● An essay that attempts to evade the
word limit by including important
material in appendices risks losing
marks under several criteria.

as this may disrupt the continuity of
the essay.
Miscellaneous: Appendices

following:
● Musical scores
● Photographs
● Complete charts and tables of information,
parts of which are referenced in the text of
the essay
Miscellaneous: Citations

author and page number(s).

note for every idea taken from a
source other than your own head.
Miscellaneous: Works Cited
● There are no “works consulted.” If a text appears
in your bibliography, it must have a parenthetical
citation in your paper.
● Works Cited must be in alphabetical order
Submission: Turnitin.com
● Failure to comply will affect your grade
in the course and, perhaps, your
diploma.

that have not been submitted for
external review.
