TOK Essays!

I finished reading and commenting on your essays. I will drop them in the mail on Monday morning, which means they should arrive to your mailbox on Tuesday. Overall, you are off to a great start. Here are some general things to think about when revising:
  1. Re-read your prompt and make sure that you are focused on answering the question.
  2. Many of you need more links to WOK.
  3. Include more counter-claims.
  4. Make sure your personal voice comes through your examples.
  5. Watch your word count. If you are around 1200, ELABORATE! Aim for 1500 or higher.
  6. Ask someone to proofread your essay.
Here is the schedule when we get back:

January 4-6: Work on presentations, conference on essays as needed
January 11-13: Same
January 18-20: PRESENTATIONS!
January 25: Optional Work Day
January 26: TOK Essay due, form check
January 27: TOK graduation

Have a great winter break!
