Today you write your assessed piece. Everything you need is on this page.
📝 1. The task
Choose one of these six questions. They are big questions, without simple answers.
- How do our interactions with the material world shape our knowledge?
- How much of our knowledge depends on our interactions with other knowers?
- Does knowledge always require some kind of rational basis?
- How do we acquire knowledge?
- Why are the criteria for what counts as knowledge not obvious?
- How do empathy and imagination help us to understand other perspectives?
Write 300 to 400 words answering your question, using an object from your home that is linked to your knowledge.
- Write in a new Google Doc. Title it with your name and "kk.11 Knowledge and the knower".
- Start your Doc with your question exactly as it appears above, and a photograph of your object. It must be a real object from your home, photographed by you, not an image from online.
- Submit the Doc through ManageBac by the end of the lesson.
- Open book: use your plan from last lesson, your notes and your Notion pages.
- No AI: every word must be your own. Do not use any AI tool to write, rewrite, plan or check any part of it.
🧱 2. What your piece must do
- Show your object: start with your photograph.
- Explain the object and its context: what it is, and its story: who, what, when, where.
