Evidence or Refelction

What is the difference between evidence and reflection?  

Evidence could be attendance records at the gym but reflection would be where you write or speak about how it feels and what you are achieving.

Many people have lots of evidence but little reflection.  You do not have to reflect on a regular basis but if you have a long term experience that you have been participating in since last term and you haven't got any reflection it is time you did something about it!!!

Between spring break and the end of term, I will meet with everyone to talk about CAS.  This is the time to put in that bit extra and check your portfolio.  I check them every week and often write notes.  The notes I write can help you to stay on track.  This kind of note is the one that I hate to see!

Make sure you don't get one, by reading and responding to the notes.  

Volunteer Opportunities

If you speak Swedish there are a few different opportunities on https://www.volontarbyran.org/.  The Red Cross is looking for volunteers to be part of a friendship group with newly arrived young refugees.  This kind of volunteer work is both rewarding for you and the recipient.  

Remember to update your portfolio ready for an interview after break.
