PRESENTATIONS-SENSE+PERCEPTION



=Presentation Option A= ===This summative assessment task for ToK will account for 30% of your first semester grade. Although you will be working in groups of 2 or 3 to prepare and deliver the presentations, grading may also be individualized based on contributions to the presentation. Presentations are expected to include multi-media and should last approximately 15 minutes (no longer). You are encouraged to use any of the material we have looked at in ToK so far; however, top grades will require original material and creative thought. ** Choosing this option means your Next assessment must be a essay. **===

=Essay Option B= ===You may tackle any of the titles below in the form of a 800-1000 word mini-essay. This will account for 40% of your first semester grade. You will do a presentation in place of the essay option yet to be assigned. ** Choosing this option means your Next assessment must be a presentation. **===

===4. Three friends were watching Disney’s The Lion King. After the film had finished, the friends started to discuss the film in very different ways. The first, who was a Higher Level English student, talked about the references to Shakespeare. The second, who was a Higher Level Geography student, pointed out only the references to climate and topography. The third, who wanted to major in Biology at university, focused only on the different animals, their behavior and group patterning. Giving examples from your own experience, discuss what this shows us about the nature of perception.===

7. To what extent is it true to say that sense perception is not entirely empirical; and to what extent do our emotions influence that which we see? Give examples.
