Last TOK Class 6/17

I have decided to cancel TOK for the last day of school, June 22. I am worried that it will be too crazy with moving out of our building that week. Please adjust your calendars. We will have our ceremonial last session with a movie, snacks, and a class photo on Thursday, June 17. Let's start thinking about what food people can bring to share. Please comment with ideas.

UW Library Visit

On Thursday June 10, we will be going to the UW library to learn how to use the databases and to gather resources for your extended essays. The workshop is from 3:30 to 5:30. Please fill out the survey below so that we can figure out rides.

Please remember that I need your Extended Essay topics by June 3!

Practice TOK Essay

Please have an outline for your essay this Thursday so that you can get feedback from me and from your classmates. At the very least, select your prompt and come up with a list of examples that you can use to illustrate your argument.

The essay is due on Tuesday, June 8.

You can download the prompts here and the essay criteria here.

An electronic copy of the TOK Essay writing guide that I passed out in class can be found here.

Late Start This Thursday: 3:30

To accomodate both the DREAM Project schedule and my schedule (I have a meeting downtown from 2:15-3:15) we will start class on Thursday at 3:30. We will end at 5:00 as usual.

For those of you who missed class this Tuesday, please make sure that you have scored the 2nd sample essay. Also, please review the PowerPoint (intro to emotion).

See you on Thursday!
