For Friday, please find a link that will inspire Knowledge Issues. Post the link to the article in Comments, along with a brief introduction to the piece.
For Tuesday, follow the link posted under (after) yours, then post two knowledge issues that you extract from the piece.
The Theory of Knowledge—a core element of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme—is a course in epistemology and practical philosophy. By examining short texts (including but not limited to local and world issues, philosophy, history and its perspectives, and scientific research) and the knowledge issues they contain and inspire, you will gain the skills necessary to analyze knowledge claims, their underlying assumptions, and their implications.

If I'm not my Brain, Who Is?
For Friday, please complete your critique and revision of your classmate's Knowledge Issues and email same to her. For Monday, fortified by the understanding this critique provides, please compose two KIs for the article on Embodied Cognition and post them here in Comments. Beyond that, good luck on exams, and remember to check back before Thanksgiving for your vacation fun.

Do you know what I mean?
With thanks to Larry
Ferlazzo and his excellent blog, via Bill Ivey and his excellent emails,
please read and respond to the following for Friday.
Review these links on
knowledge issues. Please takes notes and respond in the comments section, using
these prompts as your non-limiting guide:
1) What is a knowledge
issue?
2) What are key ideas to
remember when you are trying to write one?
3) Write two or three
knowledge issues.
4) Which resource was the
best in helping you understand knowledge issues, and why?
Now let's hone those Knowledge Issue skills: read through the articles and watch the video found via the five new links at the top of the "TOK LINKS" list on the right. Choose two of the links, and derive two KIs from each (for a total of four). Post them in comments for Tuesday morning; please indicate from which article each KI comes.
