Epstein Files 可以做 TOK Exhibition Object 嗎?
Epstein Files 可以做 TOK Exhibition Object 嗎?當然可以。
但如果你的思考只停留在「夠不夠震撼」,
那分數大概也會停在那裡。
真正的問題從來不是能不能用,
而是——
你的 knowledge claim 是什麼?
你的 counter-claim 是什麼?
你在回答哪一題 prompt?
你的 object 聚焦在哪一個面向?
屬於哪一個 Area of Knowledge?
牽涉哪些 TOK concepts?
三百萬份文件,本身不代表深度。
深度來自於你如何界定範圍、建立論證、處理反方。
在 TOK Exhibition 裡,
controversial 不等於 sophisticated。
用IB邏輯思考,才是。
想拿高分的 IBDP 學生,
不能只會選題,
更要會拆題。

To learn quality critical thinking and argumentative skills with top-notch research and solid evidence, I urge everyone to watch the video on how Jamie Raskin tore down Pam Bondi's and Kash Petal's legal excuses layer by layer at the House hearing. He brought it to a perfect conclusion by a Jamie-styled emotional crescendo that moved mountains even across the screen. TYT Investigates. (2026, February 19).

IGCSE World Literature Easter Intensive Course
The Poetry and Drama components of the IGCSE World Literature syllabus, particularly the Unseen Poetry of Paper 2, are often the most challenging areas for students to secure top grades. How do you confidently analyze an unfamiliar poem under time pressure? How do you articulate a sophisticated analysis of a play's dramatic devices and impacts on the intended audience?

Analyze Plays as Plays
在IBDP每年的全球統考後,IB都會發出Subject Report ,回顧考生們做得好和可以改善的地方。
而每一年,IB都明示有很多考生不懂analyze plays as plays。
IB的意思是,戲劇本身是一個獨特的literary genre ,有著自身獨有的藝術元素,如果考生想在考卷內高分,必須分析:
Dramatic irony
Stage Directions
Costumes
Characters' Body Language
當然還有我在堂上教的獨門必殺技。

為什麼IB那麼著重文學?
為的是培養學生的「人文情操」(Humanistic Sentiments)。
IB認為,作為一個全球未來的建設者,對於不同種族、社會階層、文化資產、大自然,不能沒有深度的理解和同理心。
Compassion ,不是來自數學、有機會來自一點點科學,而是來自沉浸於文學。

or ancient Chinese philosophers like Confucius and Lao Tzu, they did not blindly lit firecrackers nor extravagant fireworks for the sake of celebrating the arrival of Chinese New Year. Instead, they reminded us to take the opportunity to reflect and work on personal transformations, since they fully understood major worldly changes stemmed from our own personal growth.
Wish our world is moving towards a brighter direction as we preserve our light within.

Description 跟 Analysis 的分別
Description 跟 Analysis 的分別
同學們拿不到英文和文學考試的最高級別,原因往往是不懂分辨 Being Descriptive 和 Being Analytical 之間的分別。
寫了很多,以為表現了對文本的充分認識,但最後只停留在平庸的分數。原因在於,國際公開考試根本就不是要考生「解釋」文本。
「分析」文本的意思是,評論作者用了什麼修辭手法來表達寓意,及對讀者/觀眾產生了什麼樣的衝擊和迴響。
在西方文學的世界,修辭手法便有百多二百款。
都是聽不懂?國際學校的老師沒有教?

"Whoever fight monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you."
"Whoever fight monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you."
By Friedrich Nietzsche
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) was the philosopher who shattered all my beliefs during teenage. Famed for his critiques on traditional morality and Christianity, his writings freed me from the chains of growing up in a Catholic nun school. At the age of 21, I swore not to put my

IBDP的45分狀元一個段落要幾個Quotes?
很多國際學校老師常常「指導」學生做一些既無聊又低智商的寫作舉動,讓我非常感謝他們幫忙其他考生......拉低國際試的 grade boundaries ,讓我的學生能扶搖直上。
都高中了,考大學了,還在教Year 7/8程度的每個段落只分析三個quotes,IGCSE也只能拿個 C 吧。
真正的IBDP狀元,寫的內容豐富、分析全面,每個段落七至十個quotes 少不了。
IBDP 不獎勵保守,
它只獎勵 控制得住複雜度的人。
