Another masterpiece from my students, thanks Amelia and Guillermo! In this case my students explored the concept Knowledgeablein Spanish through four main activities:
Making a poster that represents the concept
Find a celebrity that models this attribute with her/his behaviour, way of living...
Define the attribute with their own words, so they can internalize the meaning of it and incorporate it to their vocabulary range.
Find an example in class, somebody that represents this concept.
As always, they excelled beyond my expectations and the result is this great poster that now you can benefit from to learn in your class. Activity/Idea to work the IB Profile in your class:
Sequence:
Break the concept down into ideas
Give examples using patterns.
1. Break the concept down into ideas and have your ideas in different lines [to differentiate them visually] like this:
Ser una persona informada e instruida es:
- explorar conceptos
- explorar ideas
- interesarse por las noticias locales y mundiales
- adquirir conocimientos
- profundizar en el conocimiento
- conocer muchas disciplinas/asignaturas
2. Giving patterns to your students to give examples:
[Nombre del estudiante] es informado/instruido porque __[idea]________
[Nombre del alumno] es una persona informada/instruida. Lo demuestra + [verbo en gerundio -ando - iendo] ___[idea]_____
Adding more ideas:
[idea] y [idea]
[idea] también [idea]
Example:
Arjun es una persona informada porque explora nuevas ideas yprofundiza en el conocimiento en varias disciplinas.
This attribute from the IB Profile is possibly one of the most difficult to grasp deeply by our students. Most of the times they get stuck on risky situations on extreme sports or crazy actions. But to be enough brave to start something new, to initiate a new academic adventure, to learn a second/third/fourth language... are not usually on their thoughts for this attribute. So, it's worth it to dedicate time in our classes to build these concepts in and practice regularly with our students. Sources and links:

Hi there! Today I want to share a contribution from one of my students. Miguel Dao loves computers and graphic design, he is very creative as you can see in the poster. Thanks Miguel for doing this awesome visual resource and sharing with everyone. Miguel is taking Spanish ab Initio and he is a great example of what an IB student must be. The poster includes:
A definition of the attribute in Spanish
A representative celebrity that constantly shows this IB profile attribute
Nothing makes me prouder [as a teacher] than seeing my students making progress and doing a better job than my own work. Today I want to share a piece of work made by my students, a poster made by my skillful "chic@s": Valentina, Oscar y Santiago as a part of an in-class activity. I think the image talks by itself and summarize the concept of being a good communicator but just in case, they added:

El
objetivo fundamental de los programas de la Organización del
Bachillerato Internacional (IBO) es formar personas con mentalidad
internacional que, conscientes de la condición que los une como
seres humanos y de la responsabilidad que comparten de velar por el
planeta, contribuyan a crear un mundo mejor y más pacífico.
Los
miembros de la comunidad de aprendizaje del BI se esfuerzan por ser:
Indagadores: Desarrollan
su curiosidad natural. Adquieren las habilidades necesarias para
indagar y realizar investigaciones, y demuestran autonomía en su
aprendizaje. Disfrutan aprendiendo y mantendrán estas ansias de
aprender durante el resto de su vida. Informados e instruidos: Exploran
conceptos, ideas y cuestiones de importancia local y mundial y, al
hacerlo, adquieren conocimientos y profundizan su comprensión de una
amplia y equilibrada gama de disciplinas. Pensadores: Aplican,
por propia iniciativa, sus habilidades intelectuales de manera
crítica y creativa para reconocer y abordar problemas complejos, y
para tomar decisiones razonadas y éticas. Buenos comunicadores: Comprenden
y expresan ideas e información con confianza y creatividad en
diversas lenguas, lenguajes y formas de comunicación. Están bien
dispuestos a colaborar con otros y lo hacen de forma eficaz. Íntegros: Actúan
con integridad y honradez, poseen un profundo sentido de la equidad,
la justicia y el respeto por la dignidad de las personas, los grupos
y las comunidades. Asumen
la responsabilidad de sus propios actos y las consecuencias derivadas
de ellos. De mentalidad abierta: Entienden
y aprecian su propia cultura e historia personal, y están abiertos a
las perspectivas, valores y tradiciones de otras personas y
comunidades. Están habituados a buscar y considerar distintos puntos
de vista y dispuestos a aprender de la experiencia. Solidarios: Muestran
empatía, sensibilidad y respeto por las necesidades y sentimientos
de los demás. Se comprometen personalmente a ayudar a los demás y
actúan con el propósito de influir positivamente en la vida de las
personas y el medio ambiente. Audaces: Abordan
situaciones desconocidas e inciertas con sensatez y determinación y
su espíritu independiente les permite explorar nuevos roles, ideas y
estrategias. Defienden aquello en lo que creen con elocuencia y
valor. Equilibrados: Entienden
la importancia del equilibrio físico, mental y emocional para lograr
el bienestar personal propio y el de los demás. Reflexivos: Evalúan
