Hey Hist Ext buddy!!! Basically my teacher has told me to investigate and make the basis of your project a debate about something, as in make a project which focuses on a popular issue or debate of time because it showcases critical thinking and more research opposed to a one sided investigation. I think you did a historical investigation in your Preliminary Course? Maybe find some ongoing debate about related to your topic? Eg a classic debate would be 'to what extent was the occurrence of the Holocaust evidence of fundamentalism/intentionalism? Also a past student from my school did ' Did Alexander the Great deserve the title 'Great'. It's little issues and debates like these which gets you a good mark because it shows you did extensive research on both arguments and sides (which you can add to your process log)) ) but yeah basically find an issue which has been debated for a longgg time. Oh yeah and also my project, which I'm not entirely set on yet but am interested in is the French Revolution maybe like ' To what extent was Marie Antoinette the turning point for the French uprising of the 18th century?' This focus question will allow me to argue whether or not she was one of the incentives or causes of the French Revolution

Good Luck!!
