Introduction to CAS Writer

CAS Writer is a specialized tool designed to assist International Baccalaureate (IB) students in crafting comprehensive and submission-ready entries for their Creativity, Activity, and Service (CAS) projects. The tool is built to guide students through the entire process of documenting their CAS experiences, ensuring that all essential components are covered in a reflective and structured manner. By utilizing CAS Writer, students can develop a detailed narrative that includes the project's title, dates, relevant CAS strands, and a thorough description of each stage of the CAS process. For example, a student planning a community gardening project can use CAS Writer to document their initial investigation, preparation steps, actions taken, reflections on the experience, and the final demonstration of their work. This ensures that the project is not only well-documented but also showcases the student's personal growth and learning outcomes.

Main Functions of CAS Writer

  • Guided Project Documentation

    Example Example

    A student initiating a beach cleanup can input their project idea into CAS Writer. The tool then guides them through documenting the purpose, goals, and each phase of the project from start to finish.

    Example Scenario

    The student begins by describing the issue of beach pollution (Investigation), plans logistics and gathers necessary materials (Preparation), executes the cleanup (Action), reflects on the environmental impact and personal growth (Reflection), and finally, presents their project outcomes to peers (Demonstration).

  • Strand Identification and Integration

    Example Example

    A student involved in organizing a school play inputs their project details. CAS Writer helps identify which CAS strands (Creativity, Activity, Service) are relevant and integrates them into the narrative.

    Example Scenario

    The student identifies that organizing the play involves Creativity (scriptwriting, directing), Activity (rehearsals, set design), and Service (community performances). CAS Writer ensures these strands are clearly articulated in the documentation.

  • Reflective Narrative Development

    Example Example

    A student volunteering at an animal shelter uses CAS Writer to create a reflective narrative about their experience.

    Example Scenario

    The student details their motivations for volunteering (Investigation), prepares by learning about animal care (Preparation), describes their hands-on activities at the shelter (Action), reflects on their increased empathy and skills (Reflection), and shares their experience through a presentation or report (Demonstration).
