In partners, students researched, illustrated, and recorded a section of our classroom digital storybook about First Nations way of living. Students worked with a partner to research a topic given to them about the Plains First Nations. Various topics such as hunting techniques, transportation, homes, food, clothing, education, recreation, and religion were assigned to the partners to research. Students wrote jot notes using a graphic organizer. Once they finished their research they wrote a descriptive paragraph on their topic. Each partner was then responsible to illustrate a picture that would represent their paragraph that they wrote. Once students had typed up their good copy of their paragraphs, and finished their illustrations they spilt up their paragraph to decide who would read what part. Students rehearsed reading their paragraphs out loud to each other before they recorded their voices on the IPad. As each group was ready to record they then used the IPad to take a picture using the camera of their illustration and uploaded it into the app. Students then recorded their voices using the app.

This lesson supports creativity because the students are encourage to create their own book report using the many options provided in Powtoon. The students made the presentations reflect their personal tastes and their interpretations of the story.

We have been using more Inquiry and Project Based Learning in our Grade 4 Social Studies class at OES this year, with the students learning to think critically and work collaboratively as they investigated the “big questions” tied to the SS outcomes. They were encouraged to reach beyond the classroom and access resource people outside the school in their research. The Grade 4 Social Studies curriculum is based on Saskatchewan content and we were fortunate to connect with some excellent sources and learning partners from all around the province.

This is an example of how students can display their learner profile. This flip book should have each page copied on a different colour and will need to be double-sided and cut.
There are many other items you can include in a learner profile, but this example includes: learning style, multiple intelligences, learning preferences, and a SECRET 21st century skills checklist.

The following template uses a social media "Facebook" format for students to display their learning style, multiple intelligences, learning preferences, goals, interests and hobbies.
The template can be edited to fit your grade or to add the content you'd like to include.

It is important to know your learners, and for learner's to know themselves if they are to learn successfully. Knowing how you learn best (with your eyes, ears or hands) will greatly help students do their best learning!

Having a variety of inventories makes it easier to revisit this each year without having to do the same inventory over and over.

This includes online and printable inventories as well as tips for studying and a student-led discussion activity are included.

A wealth of online personality tests for free. These may be some of the tests you wish to consider doing with older students as part of their learner profiles. Consider doing the Jungian Scales/Myers Briggs. The brain dominance, temperament quiz and memory test are also very interesting.

This is a template younger students can learn to share their learning style, MI, group style etc after completing their inventories.
This can be edited to suit your needs!

This website has been used to develop a number of open-source psychological tests. All are availible under a creative commons licence. This is the full list of such tests, not all have been finalized:

Open Extended Jungian Type Scales (documentation) * Myers Briggs
Open Hemispheric Brain Dominance Scale (documentation)
Open Enneagram of Personality Scales
Exposure Based Face Memory Test

For other open source measures, try the International Personality Item Pool.

These are some options you may want to consider for student learner profiles for older students - especially the Jung/Myers Briggs and Enneagram scales.
