Example-to-Claim Mapping in 5 Minutes
Map the Example
Before you write a TOK paragraph, spend five minutes mapping the example to the claim. This saves time because it tells you whether the paragraph has a real argument or only a nice example.
Find the Knowledge Point
Minute one: write the example in one neutral sentence. No analysis yet. Just the case. If you need five sentences to explain the basic case, you may need to narrow it.
Write the Claim
Minute two: write the knowledge issue. Use TOK vocabulary, but be specific. Not just 'bias', but 'how data selection shapes what appears objective'. Not just 'perspective', but 'how different historical questions make different sources significant'.
