Analyze an Extract from "The Last Great Revolution" by Robin Wright

IB Learner Profile Traits in Literature
This is a simple graphic organizer to get students to make connections between the IB Learner Profile and the traits of characters in literature.

I have also included a PowerPoint slide of a Wordle of the IB Learner Profile traits for you to project at the front of the classroom.

Experience
This is my tenth year teaching fulltime. I have taught grades 9-12 high school English, Journalism, Yearbook and AP and IB Psychology. I am an experienced MYP and IB Language A Literature English teacher.
Teaching style
I believe in hands-on, inquiry and project-based learning. One of the things I enjoy most about teaching is nurturing creativity. I teach with the idea that great conversations lead to deep learning. Teaching AP Psych helped me become a better teacher in every way. (All that info. on the brain, learning and memory, language acquisition, etc. really generated some “aha” moments.) I love integrating art, music, history and psychology into lessons about writing and novels.
