Objects can be physical or digital. Digital objects must be correctly referenced. Teachers can give guidance, but they cannot edit the draft. The exhibition is intended to take place in the first year of TOK teaching. It is strongly recommended that the exhibition is based on the themes discussed in class. The maximum overall word count for everything about the exhibition is 950 words; (all the three objects together). ​BUT it does not include possible text written on the objects, references, bibliographies, (short) footnotes, acknowledgments etc. These 950 words should be produced in one single file. ​Examiners will not read past 950 words. All work should be individual. The work must be your own.
