1st CAS Interview

Dear Grade 11:

Here some ideas for the 1st interview with your advisor:

Since it is done at the beginning of the CAS program you can discuss with your advisor about:

1. Your profile
2. What CAS experiences do you have in mind? and Why and What did you choose it for?
3. Personal goals
4. Are these experiences a challenge for you? Why?
5. What strands are included in the experiences?
6. How do you think to keep records of your projects? (Portfolio)

PS. On the audio a briefly explanation:) 1st interview guide

The Earth and Sky museum

Have you ever been at the  Bologna Planetarium? They make interesting things there!


Updating my portfolio

Dear students,

Just an important clarification: It is very important to keep an archive of your process so, everytime you meet your advisor please, include a note on managebac summarizing the ideas you discuss with him/her. It doesn't need to be too long, it can be one line or some bullet points.
You can choose even if to write or if to upload an audio file!

International vegan cooking

Dear CAS students,

I think you can be interested in this place: La bottega di Silvia They sell bulk products in order to reduce the use of plastic but also to be able to buy only what you need. All are organic products.
Well, next Monday (24th) from 7:00 pm they organize a vegan course very special because they will readapt international recipes from all over the world to a vegan prospective. There will be also space for testing! Is a workshop of 5 meetings (35 Euro each) but if you do the 5 you will pay 30 Euro each. This Monday they will work with Morocco food!
I think this can be a great opportunity for a project or a experience. For more info or booking you can contact "La bottega di Silvia"

At Modena this weekend it will be possible to try addapted sports. The day (Sunday the 23rd) is organized by the Paralympic commitee.

 PS: Last year a student, after a day like that decided to organize a lesson to PYP students with the help of Mr Francesco. it was a great CAS experience that can be improved: An event maybe??

Some ideas and/or opportunities for CAS experiences

Hi!

This can be useful for both grade 11 and 12. You will find some ideas, courses, workshops... Maybe you are interested in one of those or maybe, by reading or attending you can develop your on experience or project. Remind that for the project the first step of the five is "investigation" in wich you should "Identify your interests, skills and talents to be used in considering opportunities for CAS experiences, as well as areas for personal growth and development. Students investigate what they want to do and determine the purpose for their CAS experience. In the case of service, students identify a need they want to address".

In some of the workshop is written that you have to enroll before the 15th of September, but I would try if I were you (That happens this weekend!!!). Again, everything is in Italian but can be a good opportunity to go with a Italian mate!
