IB MISSION STATEMENT

The International Baccalaureate® aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.

To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment.

These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.

The Learner Portfolio: The learner portfolio is a space for students to reflect and consolidate their learning. The learner portfolio is also intended to support students in preparing for assessment. It is regarded as an essential learning tool. Students can utilize Google Drive and/or a notebook or folder for their LP.

PACING GUIDE

We will complete a Practice Paper 1 and a Practice Paper 2 in class which will count as Summative Grades. The HLE is written in class together.

Annotating is an important part of reading in the IB setting, therefore I request each student buy the following books so they have their own copy in class to annotate and use for assessments:

Macbeth

The Count of Monte Cristo

**be sure you get the UNABRIDGED version**

The Great Gatsby
