IB Learner Profile Learning Activity
Inquirers Learners are using this unique  profile on the research they did on the author’s life and times before we started to even study the literary work.
Knowledgeable Learners are presenting and investigating the issues of the structure, styles that engage them to the times and context related to the original text or  novel even on the film adaptation viewing.
Thinkers Our learners are progressively showing critical analysis by comparing and contrasting their observation on a reasonable ethical decision present in the  exercises in the course companion or directly in the novel.
Communicators One of the pronounced skills they are developing and showing progress is their ability to express their thoughts into the homework,  worksheet and even monthly quizzes or chances to give their opinion in an engaging session.
Risk-Takers Admiringly students are beginning to  explore with more confidence using creative strategies in completing tasks particularly in Paper 1 and Paper 2 exercises. They interpret and follow the instruction with great deal of independence and even collaboration to meet the challenge given by the text.
Reflective Learners are expressing their ideas and experiences as a good basis of their perspective on the writing task. Their own weakness is becoming their own strength in analysing the themes of the novel being studied.

IB Learner Profile Learning Activity
Thinkers Our grade 12 are comparing and contrasting issues – a measurement of their critical thinking skills.  Their observation on a reasonable ethical decision present in the exercises in the course companion or directly on the text type they are exploring.
Principled I am proud of these seniors as they prove their integrity  and  honesty of the work they are submitting. My random plagiarism check on their essays prove they are all original works.
Open-Minded The grade 12  critically appreciate their own cultures and personal histories, as seen in their essays. In one instance, they are able to evaluate their Asian or local values compared to the traditions of others.They are willing to grow from the lteratary experience and still consider the western point of view without being biassed, but acceptable to the diversity they are able to explain.
Balanced On the setting of face-to-face discussion or even online, our current batch observed their oral justification on issues giving valid reasons or evidence to support an answer or conclusion with interdependence to classmates and prior knowledge . A testament that they achieved balanced well being.
Reflective Our grade 12 are expressing their ideas and experienced maturely based on the essays or even short compositions after reading or viewing a film adaptation supplement resources. They evaluate their  own weakness for personal development  on upcoming IAs or final subject component
