Analyzes how people act, talk, think

- How do students in DP with less literacy of DP go about increasing
their literacy?
-

I dont understand what this assignment is even

talking about. He didnt even explain it he just handed the paper to us and
said it was due Friday. - Junior in DP
- Just take a deep breath. Mr. Price never explains
anything all the way you just need to study the videos he shows in class
and take a lot of notes. Thatll help you with this assignment and with the
rest of the assignments he gives you this year. He doesnt really teach out
of the history textbook, he likes to just show videos the entire class and let
-

students study on their own. - Senior in DP

Tries to understand actions/attitudes that seem to fill the community
- Who is designated, or who takes it upon herself, to improve the
literacy of DP within students?
- I feel like the only teachers that actually care
about helping us understand DP and get good grades with that are Mrs.
Hartle and Mrs. Henderson. Theyre like the hen and yang if IB. They
balance each other's craziness out and give us different views to look at

about DP and how to be successful in DP. - Katelyn Boger

Tries to discover overt and hidden conflicts that pull the community apart
- Does the process of literacy of DP for DP students function well?
Why or why not?

I think in your junior year of DP the process of

understanding DP doesnt get easier, but once you get into your senior
year of DP you can fully grasp the concept of DP and the process to
literacy functions smoothly. To me this makes the junior class separate.
They dont work together or help each other out because they are so
worried with understanding DP themselves. But during senior year is
when everyone realizes they need each other to get through this hectic
year and that is when everyone pulls together and becomes a family. Grace Winthrop
- What are the consequences of the current process of literacy within
DP?

Investigates group motives

- What could be done to improve the process of literacy of the DP
program for the students?
-

I think that the communication between not only

the teachers and the students but more so the coordinators and the students
need to be improved. Before joining DP students should be paired with
juniors or seniors that can give them honest opinions and advice about
going into DP. Furthermore the expectations and requirements for IB in
DP need to be presented honestly to the students. I think a lot of problems
occur because of the lack of communication from the administration and
coordinators to the students. - Sophia Ong
