• ToK in History
  • ToK arms you with skills to assess and reflect upon sources. Think of yourself as a detective, using ToK's tools to crack open history's mysteries.
  • Example: Reading a letter from the 1800s about daily life. ToK skills help you decide if the letter is a reliable peek into the past or if the writer was just boasting.
