  1. Learner profiles In the IB

  2. Learner Profiles • We have learned the following about learners: • Age/Gender can effect your learning • Where you live (urban or rural) • Your spiritual worldview • Your language • You will need a blank sheet of paper and pen/pencil. • You have 7 minutes to draw as accurately and completely as you can a map of the world

  3. Map of the world • This is a Mercator map, the map that we commonly use. • It was created from a Euro-centric point of view

  4. Map of world Pacific perspective • This map is from an Austrailian point of view. • Where is the U.S. located? Why might it be this way?

  5. Questions to Consider • Maps cannot possibly accurately represent the world as we know it. So cartographers are faced with the following questions • What is selected to be shown? More water or land? Does it show political or land divisions? This would explain territory disputes in Africa. • Do lines of latitude/longitude really exist? Do national borders exist when you look at the world from space? Do North/south/east/west exist in nature? What do ordinal directions mean for political/economic ideas? • Do maps have different functions? What are they?

  6. Are there really borders on a spinning sphere? Where is the middle?

  7. What is your own map? School system Compare IB to school What areas of knowledge are emphasized in school? How is behavior dealt with? What is a “good” student? • What’s included in your ed. System? Religion? Politics? Sports? • What value is placed on schooling? What subjects are most valued?
