We each live in different cultures, so what you think is going to be different than I think. The same is true of the AoIs. A lesson can be looked at through many of the AoI lenses. You're right, though. The best part is that it starts conversatio (communicators!) :). I think “interpretation” is what IB is all about.

I'd love to see what your students come up with. I've just created a <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/1491712@N20/pool/" rel="nofollow">Flickr Group</a> where we can share and compare. What I realized as I was posting this series is that every image can be interpreted in a wide variety of ways. What I choose to represent "Open Minded" might be different from what you would choose. But what is most important is that we've raised the awareness of Open Mindedness in our school and we've started a conversation that our students can carry on if they choose. And I love your interpretation of Open Minded. When I read it, I immediately thought of all the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/e-chan/540524211/" rel="nofollow">goth</a> and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dietmardownunder/3566671410/" rel="nofollow">"cos play"</a> kids who hang out by Harajuku Station in Tokyo! @Lynda I’m glad you like it and I hope it goes well for you.

I also wanted to share my idea for Open Minded. I teach in a small-town high school in the United States where ideas and attitudes are still pretty narrow. When I think Open Minded around here, I think of the students with the colorful spiked hair, several piercings, black nail polish, unusual clothes. The first time I taught some of these students I was amazed at how intelligent, open, and caring many of them are! I'd include that kind of picture. :) I LOVE this activity and will use it, for sure!

It actually took me much longer than I anticipated. I really needed to understand what each attribute meant and think about how I was going to represent that with a single image and no words. I would say that I now have a much better understanding of the Learner Profile than before. Now, imagine if we can get our students to reflect about the meaning of the Learner Profile to create these images, use those images to represent the Learner Profile around the school to give the students ownership of the process, and discuss the possible interpretations of the photos to better understand different aspects of each attribute.... @Frida Dwiyanti
