The TK-PPF is the official reflection form for the TOK Essay Process. It will be submitted for external assessment along with your final TOK Essay.
The TK-PPF includes space for your reflections on three (3) required interactions with me during the TOK Essay writing Process.
Student Reflections on the TK-PPF must not exceed 500 words. (See below for recommended length for each Interaction.)
Complete this reflection after we discuss the Prescribed Titles as a class.

Complete this reflection after our individual conference to discuss your developing ideas.
These ideas should be reflected in a thoughtful completion of the TOK Essay Planning Document.
Feel free to bring along any other mind-mapping, brainstorming, or pre-writing that you have done in preparation for the writing of your TOK Essay.
Reflection Length: Approx. 150 words
Complete this reflection as you plan your final revisions in response to my written comments on your first complete draft.
If you'd like, we can also arrange to meet individually to review the written commentary and how it might impact your choices in revision.
The IB mandates that my comments be "of a global nature," and stipulates that I am "not permitted to mark or edit this draft."
