A direct lesson on the final judgment sentence that many TOK body paragraphs need. Target duration: 140 seconds (2:20).
Viewer Hook
Most weak TOK paragraphs are missing the sentence that tells the examiner how to judge the claim. Without it, the paragraph may describe a good example but leave the argument unfinished.

On-screen text: THE MISSING SENTENCE
Most weak TOK paragraphs are missing the sentence that tells the examiner how to judge
the claim. Without it, the paragraph may describe a good example but leave the argument
unfinished.
Purpose (22S)
On-screen text: THE FINAL SENTENCE HAS A JOB
The final sentence should not simply say this proves my point. Its job is to state what
the example changes about the claim: its strength, limit, condition, or implication.
Pattern (24S)
On-screen text: USE A JUDGMENT FRAME
Use a frame like this: therefore, the claim is strongest when blank, but weaker when
blank. Or: this example suggests the claim depends on blank.
Example (24S)
On-screen text: WEAK TO BETTER
Weak: this shows that evidence is important. Better: this shows the claim is stronger
when evidence can be independently checked, because shared verification reduces reliance
on personal interpretation.
Before You Draft
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.
