Presentations for the TOK Weekend

Ladies and Gentlemen,

You have now settled on your real-life situation and knowledge issue for your presentation during the TOK Weekend. Now you need to find time to plan how you are actually going to put together the content of your presentation and the way in which you are going to present this content. Don't under-estimate the work involved! This presentation will make up an important component of your TOK grade for this semester.

A few logistical matters. On this occasion you will not have access to data projectors or other items of electronic technology (for your final presentation in IB2 you will be able to use whatever you want). Many of the knowledge issues you have identified have been discussed for thousands of years and have never relied on powerpoint! Think about how to make your presentation engaging without these kinds of support. You can use skits. You could use paper charts or whatever. Your presentation is supposed to last for between 10 and 12 minutes, so you will have to rehearse it to be sure.

Please use this thread for questions on how best to do your presentation. Any question will get a quick answer, so let's hear it! Time is short.

So how will the TOK weekend be like coz my mind is flooded with ideas that it wont be that exciting coz there are approximatly 30 different groups and each of this group has to do their presentation one at a time and given 3 days,do u think we will have time for other activities
or is the weekend is solely for presentations?

Hot Ice,

We will have simultaneous streams of presentations so that all of them will take place on Saturday morning.

That will leave plenty of time for other things - fear not!
