IB Theory of Knowledge (TOK) SL Theory of Knowledge Example

The student identifies three distinct real-world objects and keeps them connected to the chosen prompt throughout the exhibition.

The student's strongest sections move beyond description and explain how lived experience can shape knowledge, especially in the Malala example.

The exhibition has a coherent overall line of argument, with a consistent focus on the relationship between personal experience and knowledge.

Some object contexts are not established with enough precision, especially the source, date, and provenance of the Kenya protest image and the Traoré screenshot.

Several claims go beyond what the objects themselves can securely support, so parts of the argument feel asserted rather than evidenced.

The same broad idea is repeated across the three objects, which makes the individual contributions less distinct than they could be.

The treatment of second-hand knowledge is underdeveloped, so the argument is a little one-sided rather than fully balanced.
