IB Theory of Knowledge Resources

October 19, 2012

That week went quickly.  This week I am posting a short outline and draft that goes along with the essay assignment I posted last Friday.  Please note that I have changed the due date to Tuesday the 23rd to allow a little more time for work on college essays if my students need that this weekend.

I'm posting the next TOK essay on this website, everyone.  This one is based on some earlier TOK prompts - it isn't due until Monday, October 22, 2012.

We also have a guest speaker next week, on October 17th.  Dr Srinivas will be discussing knowledge from a Hindu perspective.  TOK students are expected to listen, but also to ask questions after the presentation.  There will be a lunch afterwards and I do have a few spots for interested students.
