CAS Guiding Questions

How!

Here's a big THANK YOU[!] to all those who have posted their reflections on this blog (where are the others??). It is good reading and I wish more of you would 'comment' on each other's posts to generate CAS-oriented discussions.

Listed below are some guidelines [taken from the CAS/AEF] that appear in your horribly-green CAS forms , posted here so that you may refer to them while blogging to keep the focus clearly on the purpose behind the effort:

When blogging about your CAS activity,
  • Summarise what you did in the activity and state how you interacted with others.
  • Explain what you hoped to accomplish [in some detail].
  • Were you successful? If yes, explain how. If not, explain why.
  • Write about the difficulties you faced and what you did about them.
  • Think about and state what you learnt about yourself. About others. [We're talking about "values" and "attitudes" here.]
  • If anyone helped you, mention the kind of help rendered and why help was required in the first place.
  • Dwell on how your efforts in this activity benefited others.
  • Would you do something differently the next time to improve?
  • How can you apply what you have learned in other 'life' situations?
If you keep these guidelines while blogging, you'd be doing a great job!

Here's hoping to read more posts,

How!
