Good Presentation Tips and 2 Real Life Questions

Things to Do in a TOK Presentation

  1. Analyze Knowledge Questions (KQs) using multiple perspectives
  2. Apply concepts and ideas from TOK like Areas and Ways of Knowing (AOKs, WOKs)
  3. Reflect back to original Real Life Situation (RLS)
  4. Always have a focus on KQs
  5. Mention where you got your sources from
Things to Avoid in a TOK Presentation

  1. Don't analyze KQs with just your perspective
  2. Don't simply put two contrasting opinions against each other; discuss how they were "formed as a process of learning" (Anonymous TOK Examiner).
  3. Do not pursue hypotheticals as your topics
  4. Do not focus on narration/description over analysis
  5. Do not arbitrarily insert TOK phrases in an attempt to get free points (obvious to professional examiners)
  6. Do not end up neutral, develop how you came to one conclusion or the other
2 Real Life Questions I'm Interested In:

  1. The legalization of federal gay marriage in the United States
  2. The question of technological growth severely damaging traditional job markets and creating structural, long-term unemployment

  1. Good start but you do not have enough to do's. Read that presi, research some more.
    Your RL:S need back up, newspaper, tv etc and there are no KQs
