Fictional practice example — illustrative guidance, not an assessment

From an article to a clearer economic argument

A city introduces a congestion charge. How could you use the article to explain an external cost?

Identify the affected groups and the external cost.
Connect the policy to a clearly labelled diagram.
Consider how the outcome depends on available transport alternatives.

How it works

Choose an article or upload your draft.
Review the analysis and the areas to strengthen.
Revise your own argument and discuss it with your teacher.

What you'll find here

The Internal Assessments area supports two important parts of the IA process: selecting a suitable article and improving the draft itself.

In the article workflow, users can test whether a candidate article is appropriate for an IB Economics commentary, including checks on relevance, quality, date, length, and analytical potential.

In the draft workflow, students can upload a commentary draft and receive structured feedback on terminology, concepts, diagrams, analysis, evaluation, and communication.
