What Do You Think?

Let's bring things a little closer to home. Please select, share, and explain a moment of knowledge from one of your other classes. That done, extract and share a first-order claim, a second-order claim, and a knowledge question. Remember, your second-order claim and your KQ may be very similar. Please couch your KQ in the language of TOK. This is due by 9:30pm Sunday 1 November.

Your First (and Second) Orders

To solidify for yourselves the distinction between first- and second-order knowledge claims, please compose two of each. Please ground your first-order claims in two different Areas of Knowledge (one each). Your four statements are due, as comments on this post, by 9:30 pm on Monday, 10/12. For your review, I've shared yesterday's presentation in Classroom.
