The learner profile is a very important part of your work in the International Baccalaureate program. Your assignment will be to pick FOUR profile traits from above that you think are important. After you choose your traits you will find pictures that identify them. You may use magazines, the internet, or draw the illustrations yourself. After you find these you will write a short explanation on how the pictures explain that trait and why it is important to possess it in school and everyday life.

This mini project will account for 40 points. Your grade will be based on how your pictures represent the specific learner profile trait and how you explain why they are important to possess in daily life. Neatness, spelling, and grammar will be taken into consideration when grading the following mini project.
