In sample B, the second object is Darwin's theory. The image (not identified) is not explained, although we can imply it is Darwin's notes. How explicitly do the students have to identify the 'object' that is being displayed?

Should they focus on the title in each paragraph in order to display a 'sustained focus'? ]]> 2021-06-26 02:35:58 UTC https://padlet.com/apacademic/vsa5vsyrrbldxsiv/wish/1626099903 https://padlet.com/apacademic/vsa5vsyrrbldxsiv/wish/1626102614 Are students encouraged to use their personal examples or reference to other academic sources to support their arguments? In the Sample Essay C, the student made references.]]> 2021-06-26 02:41:27 UTC https://padlet.com/apacademic/vsa5vsyrrbldxsiv/wish/1626102614 erikclarke https://padlet.com/apacademic/vsa5vsyrrbldxsiv/wish/1626133595 Could you please elaborate on what this entails? Are students trying to figure out a "community of knowers" that are united in their perspective on a particular knowledge claim? ]]> 2021-06-26 03:40:50 UTC https://padlet.com/apacademic/vsa5vsyrrbldxsiv/wish/1626133595 https://padlet.com/apacademic/vsa5vsyrrbldxsiv/wish/1626150623 2021-06-26 04:16:04 UTC https://padlet.com/apacademic/vsa5vsyrrbldxsiv/wish/1626150623 https://padlet.com/apacademic/vsa5vsyrrbldxsiv/wish/1626157216 For Sample A and C that were graded 10/10, is there another moderator who will relook at the assessment to determine if the grades were too generous? Also, if an essay is graded very badly by the external examiner, is there a moderator to see if the essay has been graded fairly?]]> 2021-06-26 04:31:14 UTC https://padlet.com/apacademic/vsa5vsyrrbldxsiv/wish/1626157216 audreytian https://padlet.com/apacademic/vsa5vsyrrbldxsiv/wish/1626680264 I found "IB TOK/Theory of Knowledge Teachers: Support Group", 2.1k members. Is the one you talked about? If I click Join Group, will I be accepted?]]> 2021-06-27 01:05:49 UTC https://padlet.com/apacademic/vsa5vsyrrbldxsiv/wish/1626680264 https://padlet.com/apacademic/vsa5vsyrrbldxsiv/wish/1626721413
I could see Pathway C is a thematic approach, but the difference between A and B isn't so clear to me.
