Presentation Planning Document
Each student must complete and submit a presentation planning document. In a group presentation these may, but need not, be compiled individually. This document will summarize the thinking behind the topic, state the specific knowledge issues to be addressed, and present an outline of the intended treatment of them, in a maximum of one typed A4 page or equivalent. It should provide clear evidence of an inquiry in keeping with the aims and objectives of TOK, and meeting the requirements of the assessment criteria for the presentation. It must not be an essay, but should be in skeleton or bullet point form.
Content of presentation planning document
Please describe your planning for the presentation, either in the space below, or on an attached A4 word-processed page.
Your description must include:
the knowledge issue that will be the focus of your presentation
a summary in note form (for example, a bulleted list) of the way you plan to deal with knowledge issues during your presentation.
After your presentation, you must fill out a self-evaluation of the each of the four IB presentation criteria listed for the presentation (Identification, Treatment, Perspective and Connections) and answer the following questions.
Questions:
1. In what ways did the topic address problems of knowledge, such as reaching truth or gaining evidence?
2. What was the main objective of the presentation? Explain briefly.
3. What methods were used to present the topic and why were these methods selected?
4. Was the presentation well-organized, thought provoking and engaging?
5. If a group presentation, what was your personal contribution?
6. What were the strong and weak points of the presentation? If you were to do it again, what, if
anything, would you do differently to improve it?
These will be on the back of your presentation planning document.
