Should We Keep or Abolish Constitutional Monarchies?
This essay also contributes to the investigation mark. We were provided with 6 sources where opinions and supporting facts, details, and examples are available. We were not required to look at other sites or sources. I read all the sites and decided what information justifies why or not we should abolish constitutional monarchies. Then, I take those points down in my research notes. We were supposed to have different sections for the research notes from each source. I completed my research part without asking a question or checking if I was on the right track.
What I then do was chose my side by deciding which side of the argument was more convincing. I decided we should keep constitutional monarchies. Next, I picked out all the points that convinced me, making sure I not only had the reasons, but also the facts. I categorised the points into three for my three main body paragraphs. Afterwards, I picked out some reasons we should abolish constitutional monarchies. The ones I picked out were relevant to my main points. This way, I was looking at both sides and using my reasons and facts to blow their point. Once again, I went through this process without any help. All I did was the process I mentioned.
The day the essay was due, we were to write the essay from start-to-finish in an 80-minute class.

I got 8/8 for Investigating, 7/8 for Communicating, and 7/8 for Thinking Critically. I thought it was a really good grade for an essay to be researched and planned in a week and written in a class. I am not a very quick person, but I completed it well all by myself. My self-confidence once again increased.
