1. What is the IB learner Profile? At the heart of the IB is the 'learner profile' - this is the IB mission statement translated into a set of learning outcomes for the twenty-first century.
Which learner profile attributes do you possess?
How do the International Baccalaureate Programmes prepare you for university or college? Well, you might find it interesting to know that there is research that looks at how well students who have done these programmes do not only at Diploma level but also at university and college. The results compare students from the MYP to students who have completed other programmes, and they are very positive. The MYP approach encourages you to think for yourself and to see the difference between classroom information and the world today.
There are schools that offer other programmes as well as IB courses. Sometimes there is competition about which progrmmme is the best! Everyone believe that their programme is the best option. But what exactly makes the MYP special? It is true to say that one of the main differences is that the MYP not only encourages you to be an independent inquirer but also allows you to explore connections between all the subjects, and you get to complete a personal project which involves lots of research.

2. ACTIVITY: Unique and shared
ATL - Collaboration skills
Unique and shared is a game to findout what we have in common with our peers, in other words, our similarities, but also to find out what our own strengths are.
First, in groups, take a sheet of paper and decide who will take notes for your group.
In your group, create a list of the shared traits and qualitites that the members of the group have. For example, 'We all have siblings'. Try not to write things that are too obvious. The idea is to try and find strengths and characteristics that are not superficial. You have 10 minutes to do this.
Now, select a member of the group to read your list to the rest of the class.
For the second part of the game, the unique part, work in new groups. Select someone in the group to be the notetaker. Take another sheet of paper and write down unique characteristics for each member of the group. You must try to find at least two unique qualities for each person. Remember to try and choose things that are not superficial. You have 10 minutes to complete this task. Nominate someone in the group to read a quality, one at a time, to the class. See if your classmates can guess whose quality it is.
