I explored the TOK DP Guide, English: Language (A) Literature Brief, and thhe (2021) DP Guide For English: Languageand Literature; I honestly am exhausted trying to figure out what my "sub-topic" is so I did this, I look at TOK, explored the optional themes and took a an example of a "good question" from there (Knowledge and Language), as the idea is that students would be connecting experiences from their specific-subject classes and applying it to the TOK learning experiences. I selected the question, "What role dpes language play in allowing knowledge to be shared with future generations?"; taking this question I created a question that would guide students through a reading of 1984 by George Orwell, as this is a text that seems to be relevant to the course I am/would be teaching to an extent. The question I created was, "How does the manipulation of language in 1984 affect the transmission of knowledge, and what does this suggest about the relationship between language, truth, and historical memory?" This question touches on how the Party’s control of language (through Newspeak) limits individuals' ability to express and preserve knowledge, which ultimately impacts future generations' understanding of history and truth. It invites a deeper discussion about the power of language to shape reality and influence what is passed down to future societies.
