Classic optional theme lessons
Our classic optional theme lessons are classroom-ready, driven by real-life situations, and filled with the ideas of the most influential thinkers from the past and present.
They are perfect for first-time TOK teachers who want a straightforward course structure, or teachers who want to augment our BQ framework with materials that invite students to delve directly into indigenous societies, language, politics, religion, and technology.
