Day 8: TOK (11)

Students were asked to find a sentence or paragraph from a text about knowledge which they find interesting or important in in understanding what we are talking about.
In today's lesson they will share their sentences and and discuss them.
Next we shall look at some visualisations of knowledge and the knowledge society and discuss the historical development to today's society and the need for knowing about knowledge.

Day 3: TOK (11)

Lesson 1-2
There is nothing better than having another chance at doing something better than before. I am very excited to start teaching TOK again and looking at it with the experience of the previous year.
We will spend more time focusing on real tasks and less on just talking - not that there is anything wrong with talking - we have forgotten the art of conversation.

In this first lesson we will try to see how much we are influenced by the way we perceive the world.
In the first few weeks we are going to have a critical look at ways of knowing and discuss how they help and hinder us in understanding the world around us.

• reason
• sense perception
• emotion
• faith
• intuition
• imagination
• memory
• language

We will start with students' own knowledge and they will try to come up with a series of things that they know - we will organise these according to the different areas of knowledge and look for ways of proving/disproving their knowledge by presenting the sources and the evidence of their knowledge claims.

Task: Think of something you used to think to be true.

By the end of the lesson students will hopefully understand what the subject is about why we are studying it and what it's role is in the IB curriculum.

Here are few posts about things we used to believe
