TOK Exhibition: Complete Resource Pack

TOK Exhibition Complete Resource Pack — 10 Resources
Nearly 20 years of TOK teaching distilled into 10 classroom-ready resources. Everything your students need to go from prompt to 10/10 exhibition.
This pack covers the entire TOK Exhibition journey — from choosing a prompt to submitting a polished, markscheme-aligned commentary. Every resource has been built from real classroom experience, tested with real students, and aligned to the current IB markscheme.

What’s included:
How to Score 10/10 — A 13-slide presentation covering the full task: markscheme bands, prompt selection, object quality, commentary structure, knowledge themes, TOK vocabulary, and the most common mistakes. The complete launch lesson.

01 — Annotated Prompt Selector — All 35 official IA prompts in one table, each with a difficulty rating, best-fit knowledge themes, and a starter object idea. Takes the guesswork out of prompt selection.

02 — Exemplar Commentary Pack — Three complete exhibitions on the same prompt and objects, marked at 9/10, 5/10, and 3/10, with examiner-style margin annotations on every paragraph. The fastest way to make the markscheme real for students.

03 — Object Selection Workshop — A 25-minute classroom activity. Students score 10 candidate objects against four criteria, debate their rankings, and internalise what makes an object genuinely strong before they commit to their own.

04 — Commentary Drafting Template — A fillable Word scaffold breaking each 316-word commentary into five labelled sections with hints and word count tracking. Particularly effective for weaker writers and EAL students.

05 — Peer Review Form — Structured 1–5 scoring across six markscheme-aligned criteria per object, with forced-sentence feedback starters that eliminate vague comments and produce genuinely useful revision notes.

06 — Object Autopsy — A 7-slide presentation diagnosing five common weak object choices — a photograph, a textbook, climate change data — and rebuilding each one into a strong, specific, 9–10 quality object. Ideal early intervention.

07 — Vocabulary Reference Card — A5 landscape card with 12 core TOK concepts, each precisely defined with an exhibition-context example. Designed to sit beside students while they draft.

08 — Teacher Moderation Guide — Band descriptors with examiner annotations, the key discriminators between adjacent bands (especially 7–8 vs 9–10), and three calibration passages for department standardisation.

09 — Cohort Tracker — Excel workbook with auto-populated prompt titles, word count monitoring, milestone tracking, conditional formatting for at-risk students, and a live Dashboard summary sheet.

Suitable for: All IB TOK teachers. New teachers will gain markscheme confidence quickly; experienced teachers get a complete toolkit they no longer need to build from scratch.
