G12 Homework

1. Write any missing reflections or mini-reflections for 1st semester CAS activities.
  • Go here for HOW TO WRITE A QUALITY REFLECTION

2. Fill out Individual CAS Completion Form. (To be submitted when we come back from Christmas vacation.) This will help you identify where you have not demonstrated growth so that you can choose second semester activities that will fill these gaps.

3. Highlight and tag/label all of your evidence.
  • Highlight the part in your reflections that shows evidence of growth in one or more of the IB CAS learning outcomes.
  • Then add a label to the post identifying for which learning outcome the post exhibits evidence.

Things to remember: 
Collaboration is more than just "other people were there".
Challenge means really hard.
New Skills must be specific and named.
Engaged with Global Issues must be ACTIVE PARTICIPATION and INVOLVEMENT
Initiated means initiated - and if you were working in a group, you need to be able to show what you personally INITIATED.

CAS must be completed over an 18 month period. You must have some degree of BALANCE across the three areas: Creativity, Action, Service.
