From the characteristics in the Learner Profile, I think I have personally shown Inquirers for a couple of weeks in English class.
Inquirers, one of the critical qualities in the IB Learner Profile, means to improve your curiosity by yourself, and show independence in learning. Inquirers also needs to learn new things enjoyably, and the enjoyable learning will help in our lives.
I personally think that recently in English classes, I have shown this characteristic the most from the Learner Profile. For instance, I became more curious at how the author Sandra Cisneros uses a lot of figurative languages such as imagery, simile, metaphor, alliteration, and personification in the book filled with vignettes, “The House on Mango Street”. As a result, I have been conscious of using these techniques from the book into my writing. I am also showing this quality of being an inquirer by showing that learning English is fun! I naturally think that studying English is extremely fun, since our teacher, Mrs. Clifford sometimes assign us some worksheets which is for learning the technique of factors that we need to learn and use in the rest of our lives.
Overall, these things that I did in English classes recently had made me consider that I have shown “Inquirer” the most from the IB Learner Profile.

What an interesting post Masaki. I am very impressed with your link and the inclusion of the definition in your own words. You were then able to explain how you have been an inquirer in the classroom clearly and concisely – well done. I am often impressed by the questions you ask and the considered responses you give when we are discussing a text. I am pleased to hear you are thinking more about how to make your writing more alive for the reader. Thank you for your effort with this post.
