CAS Writer-CAS Project Writing Aid

Example

A student begins with a vague idea to start a community garden. CAS Writer helps them refine this idea into a fully-formed project by asking targeted questions such as 'What specific need in your community will this garden address?' and 'How will you involve local residents in your project?' The student can then outline goals like 'Educate the community on sustainable farming practices' and 'Create a shared space for community interaction.'

Scenario

A student uses CAS Writer to identify goals, outline project activities, and map them to relevant CAS strands (Creativity, Activity, Service). The tool then generates a structured project description, complete with goals, timeline, and intended impact.

Example

For a service project teaching coding to younger students, CAS Writer suggests breaking down the process into the five CAS stages. During the 'Preparation' stage, the student prepares lesson plans and coordinates with the school's administration.

Scenario

CAS Writer guides the student through each stage by providing templates and questions to ensure a complete project description, including details like 'Investigation of coding curriculum needs' and 'Reflection on teaching challenges encountered.'

Example

A student completes a fundraising marathon but struggles to articulate their learning experience. CAS Writer offers reflection prompts like 'How did this experience challenge your perseverance?' and 'What strategies did you develop to stay motivated?'

Scenario

The student reflects on challenges faced during training, such as maintaining a consistent schedule. They write about how the experience developed their time-management skills and resilience, which is then incorporated into their final reflection.

Example

After completing a two-year CAS project where they developed a school recycling program, a student needs a final report. CAS Writer compiles all stages into a cohesive narrative, detailing the project's goals, activities, and reflections.

Scenario

The tool combines information like 'Initial research into local recycling practices,' 'Action plan implementation timeline,' and 'Reflection on increased awareness' into a formatted report, ready for submission.
