Theory of Knowledge
Theory of Knowledge
As you will progressing on from the MYP to the CP and DP one of the aspects that you will be studying will be about different aspects that influence how we know certain things. To start you off in that process we are going to look at elements of this through the lens of an Individuals and Societies teacher and specifically through the discipline of Geography. Yes we will be looking at what maps do and do not tell us but we are going to go beyond that (hopefully).
