This week's home learning is to give reasons for why Mahatma Gandhi is admired and respected. Think about Gandhi's remarkable achievements, attitudes and aspirations and try to link these to the IB learner profile. The learner profile provides us with attitudes and attributes that we should strive to have to enable us to be successful learners.
What attributes did Gandhi have that make him a 'learning hero'? Was he a communicator, a risk-taker, an inquirer, a thinker, knowledgeable, caring, principled, balanced, open-minded or reflective? Can you justify your decisions by giving a reason?
E.g. He was a great communicator because he spoke to thousands of people and his message was clear and powerful. Some boxes are left blank so that you can choose an IB attribute of your choice.
