JAMES'S+TOK+PRESENTATION

BACK TO STUDENTS' PLANS FOR TOK PRESENTATION 2010

__** Tuesday 20 April 2010 **__ - DECIDE ON TOPIC AND MAIN KNOWLEDGE ISSUE AND WRITE IN THE PRESENTATION TEMPLATE

MAIN KNOWLEDGE ISSUE:
__** Monday 10 May 2010 **__ - COMPLETE PRESENTATION TEMPLATE [|Graphic Planning Template TOK Presentation.pdf] 1 Identify more knowledge issues related to the KI which is the focus of your presentation. - Does a piece of "music" have to have a meaning to be considered "music"? - How does what we think of as "music" been affected by our cultural backgrounds? - What is 'Bad music'?

2 Show how you will develop the ideas. What are the implications of the KIs? - There is no definition that is considered "the definition" when trying to define music. It is pretty much up to personal opinion. For example, some people may consider popular music such as Avril Lavigne and Miley Cyrus as "Music", whilst i do not. - Thankfully because of being unable to define it, there are so many different types of it. Every day new genres of music are being created and exciting new developments in ways of playing instruments, recording instruments even making instruments are being discovered. - But everything can't be considered music, can it?

3. Identify at least two perspectives of different knowers.

Perspective 1: "Music" has to convey mood, emotion, meaning etc...to the listener. Perspective 2: "Music" must be "organized sound" (Quote Edgard Varese), and be purposeful.

4. Illustrate your points with supporting quotes or illustrations.

Perspective 1: "Music" has to convey mood, emotion, meaning etc...to the listener.
