IB Profile: Solidario

The IB Learner profile is a core concept in IB education. 
Through these visuals I try to help my students understand, internalize the concepts and give them a visual scaffold to get the idea.
Activities involving the IB Profile are as many as your imagination can provides you.
Here you have some potential general activities:

• Let your students make their own posters based on the concept you are working on. [With this activity we help them develop their creativity and taking ownership of their own learning]
• Make your students find real-life examples that show the concept. [This activity helps them making connections] 
• Make the students find the person in the class that best shows the concept with his/her behavior. 
• Ask your students to think in a famous person that shows the concept with his/her behavior. 
• Ask your students to think in the last book they read, considering how the characters in the book acted. Was someone in the book caring?
• Let your students find a quote related to the concept we are studying in class and draw a personal conclusion from it.

For your Spanish class:

Sequence:

1. Break the concept down into ideas
2. 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 solidario es:

- mostrar empatía

- mostrar sensibilidad

- mostrar respeto

- comprometerse personalmente a ayudar a los demás

- actuar con el propósito de influir positivamente en la vida de los demás

- actuar con el propósito de influir positivamente en el medio ambiente

2. Giving patterns to your students to give examples:

1. [Nombre del estudiante] es solidario porque __[idea]________
2. [Nombre del alumno] es una persona solidaria. Lo demuestra + [verbo en gerundio -ando - iendo] ___[idea]_____

Adding more ideas:

1. [idea] y [idea]
2. [idea] también [idea]

Example:

Ryan es solidario porque muestra empatía y actúa con el propósito de influir positivamente en el medio ambiente.

Don't forget to conjugate your verbs ;)
