Theory Of Knowledge

'In grade 11, we are concluding our study of History and the optional theme of Knowledge and Politics. We will then begin out study of the Natural Sciences. Students are becoming more familiar with how the areas of knowledge are linked with the TOK themes and concepts. The links they build in class are the foundation for engaging successfully with the assessment criteria and should drive discussion in their Final TOK exhibition, which will be completed later in term 2.

In grade 12, students are readying their final submission of their TOK Essay, The TOK Essay comprises 67% of their final grade and students should see this as an opportunity to polish their responses and achieve their best. Students should seek the support of their classroom teachers, or myself, before the deadline if they have any questions to ensure their work is of the highest quality.
