Dear Alejandro, Devechin, D’Angelo, and Alyssa:

Your presentations have been selected for moderation! That means the IB examiner wants to know if I scored your presentations correctly. In order to determine this, the examiner would like your ToK planning document.

Please complete the TK PPD form for presentations. You may copy and paste your original text into this form. It’s important that the information you include reflects the presentation you gave in class, so please do not make drastic changes.

Once that is done, please save the form, using your name and candidate number as the file name. Then, email me the pdf form to

chris-coey@scusd.edu

Finally, return the hard copy of your presentation (including the rubric score with my comments and marks).

I’ll take care of the rest! Thank you!

Mr. Coey

Hey ToKers,

Given that we have some additional time to freely explore different perspectives, I am offering this book and film list to enrage, enlighten, and envelope your fragile egg-like minds with ToKness (yes, it’s now a noun)

ToK summer reading and viewing list!

Your first post is due Monday, May 26.

Please answer the following question in a 50-100 word response with at least one specific quote from the book to support your response.

1. Which approach to gaining knowledge is explored in your book? How is “acquiring knowledge” discussed?

p.s. I just read this fascinating article, Eight Pseudo-scientific Climate Claims Debunked by Real Scientists. Fabulous! Great information for anyone living in a republican controlled state, e.g., Texas or Florida.

p.p.s. If you are considering another ToK presentation, I would strongly encourage you to consider Bill Moyers’ website and journalism as fertile ToK ground. He has already planted and grown; it’s up to you to harvest!

Hey ToKers,

Here are several resources we will use to develop our presentations.
