Week four is in the books.In preparation for week five, please remember to sign up for PLT yet! Please do so by the end of Monday.
English 8: no homework!
CLE: Your MBTI Analysis report is due on Thursday. You will have Tuesday to work on it, but remember that Tuesday is a short day (PLT).
For those absent today, we joined you at the protest in spirit by learning about some prominent (teen) leaders in the movement towards greater accountability for climate change. We talked about the types of changes (personal change and systemic change): for example, there are small, day-to-day things that each of us can do to limit our greenhouse emissions - this is personal change. To change our world, though, we also look at systemic change: and that's what we're seeing through the missions of Isra Hirst, Xiuhtezcatl Martinez, Autumn Peltier, and Greta Thurnberg. It's about taking a big idea and collectively translated that into action.

As the video above describes, we can all have a role in systemic change, through skills such as being investigators and communicators (which all of us IB learners are!).
