How many reflections for cas

I wrote about words for each of my activities, but I know lots of people who just uploaded photographic evidence and then wrote a couple of sentences, and I think that's all you need to do. But if you enjoy writing, the more the merrier! You need to write a reflection for each activity that you've done and one final reflection about the experience of CAS, including all the activities you did in the past 2 years.

There is no limit to how much you need to write, but for individual reflections, I'd say about a words is enough. If you manipulate the font, line spacing and all, it'll look more than words in your portfolio this is if you print it out. The final reflection should be around 3 quarters of a page, to be on a safe side. I went with a roughly word reflection and my teacher told me to write more.

So make sure you have at least that! Of course, you can write more that; like I said there's no limit so you can fill a whole page or even more. The main thing to remember is that it is your CAS co-ordinator who signs you off, so the best answer will come from them. For instance they may have a particular form they want you to fill in. They may want one reflection per activity, or one reflection per 10 hours.

They may want a sentence or an essay. They may allow photographs as evidence or they may not consider a photo reflection.

Knowing about other schools is useful but the definitive answer is from your own school. Depends how much your co-ordinator wants. Mine wants at least one or two per activity, or around 20 per semester of IB, so about 60 by the end. I'm a bit excessive when writing so I'm at around 70 in second semester of IB1 with around words per reflection absolutely unnecessary though , I just have a constant need to be ahead of the others in my year.

Paste as plain text instead. That said, you could still ask them about the length of the required reflection compared to the examples IB provides. When it comes to CAS activities, you should always show initiative, but the activity itself doesn't have to be anything huge.

If you decide to plan a dinner, that's great! But smaller things like simply going running every day could still count as CAS. Even just playing soccer or making an art piece for 2 or 3 hours count.

Do check again with your CAS coordinator though, because different schools might accept different things as CAS activities it's up to the supervisor's discretion. You can post now and register later.
