Hello all!
We are going to take the next steps in your TOK journey with a little bit about YOU and how you know things. Your assignment has three parts...first, you will be reviewing the TOK Ways of Knowing. Second, you will be doing a short reflection using you and the Ways of Knowing. Last, you will be finding a text that you feels illustrates a combination of the Ways of Knowing.
**Before you start, please open a new Google Doc to work in**
You will need to get a sharable link for this Doc and use the drop box on the "TOK important stuff" page on this website to submit your work...let me know if you have trouble!
Before you launch, one more thing...I need to change the date of my Library day from June 14 to June 15, Friday. I will be at the Wright Farms Anythink from 1-3 pm.
Part 1: The Ways of Knowing Presentation (click for presentation)
View the presentation. Read the descriptions for each of the Ways of Knowing (WOK) and review and add to the WOK worksheets we went over at the retreat. Think about how you know the things you know.
Part 2: Reflection
In your document, write a brief reflection answering the following questions:
1) Which WOKs do you rely on to gather, evaluate, share, etc. knowledge in your life? Explain why you think you rely on these WOK.
2) Which of the WOK would you deem "unreliable"? Why, in your opinion, are they unreliable?
3) Would you agree or disagree with the following statement? Explain your answer, giving examples as necessary.
The WOK are best used as a network when gaining knowledge.
Part 3: Example texts
Your last task is to find a text (article, video, print ad, blog, etc.) that you feel requires multiple WOK to process the knowledge it is communicating. Write a BRIEF statement about which WOK you believe are required to access, process and evaluate the knowledge being communicated.
Here is my example:
(I feel like it needs emotion, sense perception, language)
