How To Fill In the Presentation Planning Document TK/PPD

How to Fill In the Presentation Planning Document: TK/PPD

This booklet gives in depth advice on how to fill in the Theory of Knowledge (TOK) Presentation Planning Document (TK/PPD). Filling in the TK/PPD is an essential part of the presentation process, and unless the International Baccalaureate ask your school for a sample, is the only part of the presentation that the moderator will see. It is vital that students fill in the form correctly, to ensure that they get the grade that their presentation fully deserves.

The booklet uses examples from the International Baccalaureate, which can be found in the Theory of Knowledge Teacher Support Materials https://resources.ibo.org/dp/subject-group/Theory-of-knowledge/resource/11162-42990/data/d_0_tokxx_fcl_1611_1_e.pdf, and puts them into student friendly language.

For each section of the TK/PPD form, the booklet offers detailed advice from the International Baccalaureate, including their example student sentences. I have also added sentence starters to support students get started in writing each section—this has been useful for students who are filling in the form in their second language.
