Have you read the March 20th Update post yet? If not, please read that first... Then if you are opting to move forward with planning your IA on this break, read on...
One piece many groups still need to work on is refining, improving main and additional KQs. This is only one element of the presentation, so I don't want to get too hung up on it, but it is an important piece. Thus, consider the following: 1. I know we have talked about them in class quite a bit, but I thought maybe giving another TOK teacher's perspective might help. In thinking a bit deeper about KQs - consider this thoughtful response about questioning and KQs. 2. Additionally, your main KQ can have a "lens" that helps to focus your presentation and make it easier to cover in the allotted time. However, remember a lens is an addition to the KQ; the question should be able to exist and still be a KQ if you remove the lens.
Since there will be less face to face time it might be in your best interest to go back and check out the IB provided exemplars and the 2018 & 2019 examiners feedback about the TOK IA Presentations. These have already been posted on this site, but putting back up at the top for easier access. However, I caution you from randomly searching the "interwebs" for advice on the IA, I have done that over the past couple of days to see what is out there and some of it directly contradicts what IB has said and what I have been taught in training. If you are wondering, post the question in Teams and I can address it for all. Comments are closed.
