Tok essay prompts

Students are expected to select three objects for the TOK exhibition to connect it one of the following 35 IA prompts mentioned below: 1. What counts as knowledge? 2. Are some types of knowledge more useful than others? 3. What features of knowledge have an impact on its reliability? 4. On what grounds might we doubt a claim? 5.

We divide the course up into 6 ‘Big questions’ (BQs), each one of which exploring a different aspect or concept related to TOK. You can see the BQs on here. Think about the aspect or concept behind each BQ, and then match this up to what’s being asked by the IA prompts.

Before we dive into our gameplan, let’s overview the rules of the game. There are two assessment tasks in the TOK: an essay and a presentation.

Here is what you can do to make sure you come up with the perfect TOK topics. The topic has to be something you are interested in or passionate about. Remember, you will be presenting it for at least 10 minutes to a room packed with people, so you had better have enough motivation.
