It's Raining KQs

With apologies to The Weather Girls, put away your umbrella and go sing and dance in the knowledge.  As part of our continuing preparation for the TOK essays, select a real world situation (local, global...) and extract three distinct Knowledge Questions.  After explaining the situation, identify the ways of knowing and areas of knowledge inherent to each KQ.  You might even use the song from the link--either way, it's due Tuesday before classes begin.

Go Hunting

For noon on Saturday, please select a piece found on either Brain Pickings, 3 Quarks Daily, or Arts & Letters Daily (all found on the TOK Links list to the right).  Provide a link to the piece, explain what drew you to it, and extract a knowledge question.  Finally, connect the knowledge question to a moment of knowledge from your own life that exists in a different area of knowledge than the original article.  Welcome back.
