CREATIVITY, ACTIIVITY AND SERVICE DIARY

INTRODUCTION
Questions:
1. How would you describe yourself in terms of personality traits? Which of them
are your strengths?
2. Which situations of aspects of yourself are challenging for you? Why?
3. What is important to you? What are your values?
4. Which activities would you like to choose for your creativity, activity and service?
(This is just a rough sketch of a plan which you develop further in the coming
weeks.)
5. Which potential CAS activities are easy or comfortable for you and which are
more difficult?
Answers:
1. My personality traits are curious, honest, loyal, impulsive, quick-thinking¸ caring and
sometimes impatient. Of those my strengths would be loyal, honest, curious, caring.
2. Being impulsive and impatient is a bit challenging for me because it leads me to
making some decisions that I might regret later, because I often don’t think twice
about the things I do I sometimes do things I normally wouldn’t.
3. Things I find important are friends, family, happiness, health, and honesty. My values
are loyalty, honesty, kindness, compassion and understanding. I often look for these
values in my friends.
4. For creativity I would cook, which I do every week for my family, for activity I would
go on bike rides, and for service I am apart of Interact rotary club and I take part in
their activities.
5. Creativity is easy for me because I already cook each week for lunch, so this isn’t
difficult for me. Activity is a bit of a challenge because I had an injury this year and
can’t attend my regular sport activities so I have to come up with other ones.
Activity Planning Form
Activity name: weekly lunch
CAS strand: Creativity
Cas Stages:
1. Investigation
Purpose and goals of the activity: Cooking each week helps me further my culinary skills and
makes me better at cooking, as well as it gives my parents a meal each week that they don’t
need to prepare. It also makes me a more valuable person with useful skills.
2. Preparation
Each Saturday I buy ingredients alone and cook a meal for me and my parents, this meal must
always be made from scratch. This will test and further my cooking skills.
3. Action
Each Saturday I take some time to cook a homemade meal from scratch for my parents.
4. Reflection
After each lunch I listen to constructive criticism and implement some of the ideas into my next
meal, I always feel very accomplished after a lunch because I know that I myself made that and
not anybody else
5. Demonstration
I will share my experiences through CAS portfolio.
