How to: TOK IA

This is a comprehensive guide for creating a TOK Exhibition. It is designed to help students understand the formal requirements of the task, how it is assessed, and how to build a clear exhibition based on one of the official 35 TOK IA prompts. The resource explains the role of the exhibition, the 950-word limit, the need for three specific objects, the importance of real-world context, and how to link each object clearly to the selected prompt.

The guide supports students through the full exhibition process, including choosing a theme, selecting objects with specificity, writing commentaries, justifying the inclusion of each object, using TOK Concepts, and adding references. It provides a clear writing structure based on Point, Explanation, Analysis and Link, helping students avoid vague or generic object descriptions.

The resource also includes a writing frame, checklist, the full list of official IA prompts, and the 12 TOK Concepts: Evidence, Certainty, Truth, Interpretation, Power, Justification, Explanation, Objectivity, Perspective, Culture, Values and Responsibility. This makes it ideal for teachers who want a ready-to-use TOK Exhibition support booklet and for students who need a clear, structured guide to producing a focused and well-justified TOK Exhibition.
