Almost there....

A short post this week as I have written a lot of comments on your portfolios.  I have removed the hour counters - if you were wondering what happened to that.  Hours are not what count but the quality of your CAS.  The hours were to help you keep track of how much time you spent.  In order to have a completed CAS portfolio you must have quality reflections for each of the outcomes, covering all of the strands.  Here are some pointers to help you write good reflections:

Describing memorable moments, obstacles, difficulties, successes. 
Expressing feelings. Show how you felt about your experiences. 
Generating ideas. Rethinking or re-examining choices. 
Asking questions. Questions about people, processes or issues
What do you perceive and notice? 
How do you feel being involved? 
What do you think and feel about the experience itself? 
What does the experience mean to you? 
What value does the experience have? 
What did you learn from this experience, and how might you apply this to your life more generally?


These were mentioned on previous post but there is a possibility that you missed that!!!

Don't write about how good you are but be critical - and make sure you mention what you have learned. Making mistakes and learning from them is valuable experience.

Great video.....
