A top-scoring French A (Lit) RQ must be focused, specific, and explicitly state your variables. Examiners look for precise scientific context rather than broad, vague topics.
Focus on a specific aspect of the work(s), such as a theme or character, to create a well-defined research question that allows for detailed analysis.
Clearly state the title(s) of the literary work(s) and the author(s) in your guiding statement to ensure precise identification.
Phrase your question to invite exploration of how meaning is created in the text, using language that suggests analysis rather than mere description.
Limit your inquiry to one or two primary works to maintain a manageable scope and avoid overly broad statements about literature.
Ensure that your guiding statement is a complete sentence, using formal language and clear references to avoid ambiguity.
Choosing a broad topic that encompasses too many elements, making it difficult to conduct a detailed analysis.
Writing the guiding statement as a fragment or using informal language, which undermines clarity and academic rigor.
Formulating questions that only require summary or description of the plot instead of inviting deeper literary analysis.
Including multiple unrelated works or authors in the guiding statement, which can dilute the focus of the research.
Using vague references to the work(s) without specifying titles or authors, which can lead to confusion and lack of focus.
Yes. Our Research Question Generator was trained on thousands of high-scoring IB exemplars, and the ideas it generates are designed to align with IB criteria so you can develop research questions that meet the standards.
Select your subject and category (IA or EE), optionally enter a few keywords or interests, then click Generate. The AI returns research question ideas tailored to your subject, which you can refine further with the tweak tools.
No. You can leave the keyword field blank for instant inspiration, or add a few words about your interests to get more targeted ideas.
Generated questions are starting points aligned with IB expectations. Similar research questions appear across cohorts—what matters is that your investigation or essay content is your own work.
The Research Question Evaluator was trained on thousands of research questions marked by IB-certified examiners. It evaluates your research question using the same IB criteria, helping you understand its strengths and areas for improvement.

One work or a tight pair beats “French poetry and love.” Bound by author, genre, or device. State francophone region when context shapes interpretation.
Try combining an author, a literary device, and an optional theme. Mentioning register and francophone diversity can help yield more distinctive ideas from the generator.
You should prioritize literary form and its effects—such as structure, imagery, voice, and motifs—within French texts. Questions that focus primarily on the author's biography tend to underperform.
