This page turns the video into a StudyIB lesson note you can scan before drafting. Use it to test whether your TOK reasoning is actually specific, comparative, and examiner-facing.
A focused horizontal lesson that teaches students to test whether an example really belongs in the chosen AOK before building an outline around it. Target duration: 132 seconds (2:12).
Before you build an outline around an example, check whether the AOK actually changes the reasoning. A famous case can still be a weak TOK example if it would make the same point in any subject.
On-screen text: AOK FIT TEST
Before you build an outline around an example, check whether the AOK actually changes
the reasoning. A famous case can still be a weak TOK example if it would make the same
point in any subject.
On-screen text: FAMOUS IS NOT FIT
The weak version sounds like this: I will use this event because everyone knows it. That
may give you context, but it does not give you TOK analysis.
On-screen text: WHAT METHOD IS DOING WORK? First, name the method.
On-screen text: WHAT WOULD CHANGE IN ANOTHER AOK? Second, ask what would change if you moved the example to another AOK.
Do not treat this as a paragraph to copy. Treat it as a planning and diagnostic tool: check whether your claim has a condition, a knowledge mechanism, a limit, and a reason the example matters.
