Gotong Royong/CAS Project Fair on Wednesday, December 12 planning time
If you're not sure what you're going to do for a CAS Project, read the following articles:
Creativity Project: a talented musician could learn a particularly difficult piece, or a different style of playing - read this IB blog post about a group of students in New York who produced and performed a play to raise awareness of a real-world issue.
Activity Project: does not have to be sports-related or competitive. A valuable activity project could help a student overcome a personal fear, such as rock climbing - read this IB blog post about a student in Australia who achieved his dream of becoming a youth soccer coach through CAS.
Service Projects: must be beneficial for the community as well as providing a learning opportunity for the student - read this IB blog post about students in Indiana who organized a huge recycling drive to help an IB World School in Flint, Michigan.
And then open this "CAS Project Brainstorm" document and answer the questions
HW: if you've begun your CAS Project this term, your documentation MUST be submitted to Ms. Urban, in a hardcopy and signed by your supervisor, by next Monday, December 3
