    Learner

    Portfolio (for Students)



    Why have one?
    Because it’s fun. It’s a pleasure and an outlet for our thinking. Also, the learner portfolio is
    an IB requirement, but it’s so much more than that. This is an opportunity for you to explore
    your own writing and to express your ideas creatively. It is meant for you to show your
    interests and passions in your own writing.

    What is it?
    It’s a mad lab! It’s messy and experimental. More concretely, it’s a blank art sketchbook or
    padlet or Adobe Spark page or a website or a Google Drive folder (or something else) where
    you collect and collate examples of your writing and the writing of others. It is an
    opportunity to explore ideas, styles, and more in relation to your interests.

    How do I do this?
    Read and be curious about the world around you. Be organized with your writing and
    thinking. Focus on the writing process and not solely on the final products you create.

    How Often Do I Contribute to This?
    As often as you want! But, we expect you to add smaller thoughts, writings, and ideas at
    least twice a month and one longer piece of writing once a month.

    Make sure to:
    • Observe the world around you; collect ideas and thoughts; collate work that reflects
    a range of perspectives, genres, and interests;

    • Experiment with everything you can;

    • Challenge yourself in what you read, write, and consider;

    • Create compelling written work that has some literary merit;

    • Articulate your understanding of the writer’s craft (your own and others);

    • Demonstrate the ability to manipulate elements of various genres;

    • Use the portfolio as a space to develop your internal and external assessment
    components of the course;

    • Connect to the areas of exploration, concepts, and global issues when relevant;

    • Track your learning and progress;

    • Be independent.

    In many ways, all the awesome stuff in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton: The Revolution is
    what we are looking for you to do. Find a picture of it here.
