CAS: student final summary form (page 2)


Write a clear and complete critical reflection on your entire CAS EXPERIENCE, following

the same performance criteria as indicated on the activity/project self-evaluation form

CAS/AEF

CAS is a vital part of the IB diploma programme. IB is a very strong curriculum that

emphasis on Academics as well as extracurricular activities. Apart from the six

subjects, CAS makes IBDP a more joyful one. There were various activities which

were included in our school activity calendar so that we all get an opportunity to

learn through CAS activities.

For my creativity, I explored the art of dance. I joined the Shiamak Dawar‟s

Institute of Performing Arts in July 2008. This institute was started by the most

famous, one of the India‟s best choreographer Shiamak Dawar. It is one of the most

reputed dance institute‟s in India. They have 7 levels at which dance is taught-

beginner, elementary, elementary adv, Intermediate 1, Intermediate 2, Intermediate

3 and intermediate adv. I reached the level of intermediate 3 by the end of my two

years CAS programme. At Shiamak Dawar‟s institute I learned various dance forms,

and explored areas of my strengths. I had worked collaboratively with my batch

mates and had put up various shows of the dance we had learnt. I learned about

group cohesion and leadership as I was made the group leader many times. This

helped me to learn about leadership and how effectively I can work in groups.

To further explore my creativity, I had put up a PowerPoint presentation on

Teacher‟s Day ‟08. I had gone personally to all the 110 teachers and clicked pictures

of everyone. After that I had selected a few of them and had compiled them and

put them up in a PowerPoint with various quotations. My presentation was

appreciated by all of the teachers and senior management team as they thought it

was very innovative and touching.

For my Action activities I had taken up the task of physical fitness. I had joined the

Gymnasium to improve my physical fitness, strength, endurance, cardio, and

flexibility. My instructor had defined a set of exercises for particular group of

muscles and component for me and kept pushing me to achieve my short term and


of 64

long term goals for lifelong fitness. I used to do cardiovascular exercises with

jogging, treadmill and cross trainer, strength training with freehand exercises,

dumbbells, weight training and set of isometrics, for flexibility he taught me yoga,

and PNF flexibility exercises. At first it was very tiring and I felt overload but by the

end of the activity I learnt how to keep myself fit and I am keen to continue the

activity throughout my life and ready to inspire more and more people. I had also

performed dance on the stage for various shows such as summer funk and winter

funk.

For my service activity I had joined an organisation names Sarthak Prayas. It is an

NGO working for the welfare of the society. They work in different felids such as

the education of underprivileged children, blood donation and cancer check-up,

old-age homes etc. I had volunteered to work with them in the schools of

underprivileged children and had helped them with the cancer check-up and blood

donation camps. This also helped me to get involved in an issue of global

importance.

It was a very different experience teaching at the school. I was given the students

below 5th grade. Through these children I was able to explore the different

perceptions people have about their lives. These children were underprivileged, but

their determination towards their goals made me re-think about my life and my

goals. Throughout the interaction these children were very friendly. Their positively

helped me gain more confidence in what I do and made me more determined to

put in more effort in my tasks.

I had also helped the people of Sarthak Prayas in organising blood donation camps

and cancer check-up camps. In blood donation camp I learnt to specify the blood

groups and came to about rare blood groups in humans such as A-, B-, O-, AB- or

other rare types. Through the blood donation camps I learned that there is still a lot

of goodness in the people and we all must donate blood regularly. Although they

were not gaining from anything, they were still very positive as they were helping

some unknown person. This helped me realise that we should do tasks in which we

have no selfish motive, but something that is of help to the society.

For my service activity, I had also taught dance to the students of 6th and 7

th graders

for Teacher‟s Day ‟08 and Teacher‟s Day ‟09. It was a wonderful experience as I


of 64

had to interact a lot with my juniors. I faced a lot of difficulty teaching the kids, and

that made me realise how difficult is teaching or choreographing to the kids. I was

able to explore my creativity through this activity. I choreographed medleys for

both the events. This included various songs of my choice and the choice of the

students. I interacted with them by taking their ideas and including them in the

performance. This not only made them more interested in the activity, but also

made them more confident on stage.

My entire CAS experience was very memorable and added to my personal

development. It is an amazing component of IB which not only helps us to de stress

ourselves from the stress of our exams, but also gave us a platform to perform,

learn leadership qualities, team cohesion and helped me explore various areas

which I would have not been able to explore with the inclination towards

academics.

ACTIVITY LEADER: Praful Bankar, Ankita

LEARNING OUTCOMES ACHIEVED: Outcome 1- Planned and initiated activities

Outcome 2-Undertaken new challenges

1. Summarize what you did in this activity and how you interacted with others.

I had joined Shiamak Dawar‟s institute of performing arts at the beginners level to

learn dance. At this level we were taught the basic forms of dance. We basically

concentrated on Bollywood Jazz. Throughout the session, we had various activities

where we had to dance with partners. This is how I interacted with others

2. Explain what you hoped to accomplish through this activity.

I had hoped to accomplish better communication skills with people by the end of

this activity. I am not a very open person, and therefore I have a lot of trouble

interacting with unknown people.

3. How successful were you in achieving your goals? What difficulties did you

encounter and how did you overcome them?

I am pretty successful in achieving my goal. By the end of the batch I was more

comfortable while talking to my batch mates. Although I had a tough time trying to


of 64

overcome the problem of not being able to interact with people, but by the end of

the batch I was a more confident person.

4. What did you learn about yourself and others through this activity?‟

Through this activity I learned that I had the phobia of new people. I realised that

not everyone is bad and if I try knowing more people, I would be able to know

about the different perspectives people have about various things.

5. Did anyone help you to think about your learning during this activity? If so, who

helped and how did they help?

My instructor helped me a lot during this activity. He helped me realise that I have

better dance skills than what I think I do. This made me more confident about what

I was doing and I was very motivated to go for classes and learn new things.

6. How did this activity benefit others?

I have very different sort of people in my batch. People who wanted to lose weight,

people who wanted to be more fir and people who basically wanted to learn dance.

Since we were in a group we used to keep motivating each other all the time.

Therefore every person in the batch benefited from this activity.

7. What might you do differently next time to improve?

Next time I would want to communicate in a better way with everyone. This would

help me know them better and have a better group interaction.

8. How can you apply what you have learned in other life situations?

Dance is a very beautiful art form. I would love to perform on stage. Also this

activity helped me develop better communication skills. Now I would be more open

when I interact with people I don‟t know.

About Shiamak Dawar‟s Institute of Performing

Arts

Dancing comes naturally to Shiamak, the sole reason

being while on stage he is at peace, awareness surrounds

him; „be the dance not the dancer‟, thus performance

simply mingles with the blood in his veins.

His personal interest in learning the art of dance,

professionally took him to Pineapple Dance Center and

Contemporary Dance Theatre, London and later to Paris

and New York.

His aim all though was to formalize the discipline of dance in India. Thus evolved

SDIPA…a tapestry woven with vivid colors each representing creativity and the zeal

to triumph has it‟s origin rooted in the year 1991 completing a decade in 2001 an era

full of smiles, sniffles and sobs. SDIPA has undergone the grit and grind of toil

evolving in to a discipline, professional and yet fun institute. It is a result of

Shiamak‟s affirmation and belief in the part of power, patience, perseverance and

positive thinking.

Shiamak does not choreograph dances, he creates masterpieces. The glory and

limelight is the culmination of his brilliance in choreography, which is well deserved.

Every song choreographed is a manifestation of creative intellect at its very summit.

„Sole to Soul‟- the motto to which Shiamak abides is an ever growing inspiration for

his troupe members for whom Shiamak is an omnipotent entity, their quench for

creative inspiration.

Shiamak has choreographed innumerable television commercials, movies, product

launches, music videos, stage shows, etc. Theatre held the roots to his future as a

choreographer. His various television ad campaigns helped him understand the

various aspects of choreography for videos.

That innovative aspect of Shiamak‟s choreography depicts every emotion predictable

in mankind. Positive energy incorporated with hard work results in choreographic

brilliance on stage or on screen, which he depicts through his multitalented dancers.

Managing sets, lights, the troupe and the dance choreography all at once is quite a

feat. And just like his grooves, he does the same with absolute ease

Pot full of colors, each color a beauty in itself. Ever noticed how different these

colors are? Yet they blend into the pot that beholds them as a whole. The Shiamak

Davar's Institute for the Performing Arts popularly known as “SDIPA” is symbolic of

that pot which beholds different human beings; who share but one goal in common,

which is the will to work hard and emerge as a rainbow of success.

Shiamak Dawar

centers in Mumbai, 7 in Delhi, 4 in Bangalore, and this Summer we are holding

workshops in many other cities like Pune, Goa, Hyderabad etc. In Mumbai alone we

now teach thousands of students annually and the number is constantly increasing.

Jazz, Hip-hop, Afro-Jazz, Rock 'n' Roll, Salsa, we've got a plethora of activities for

the young and the not so young. People come in all shapes and sizes to our dance

institute.

Fat, thin, good dancers, special people, physically & mentally challenged everyone is

welcomed to this disciplined, professional and yet fun institute. Some people come

to lose weight & enjoy dancing themselves thin. The program is designed to work

the parts of your body that need to build up strength & flexibility, gradually and

according to your body rhythm and temperament. It includes weight training and

diet programs. Everybody yearns to be fit and trim, to dance & express themselves.

At SDIPA students start classes from Beginners level, graduating to Elementary,

Elementary Advance, Intermediate. ATP (Advance Training Program) & J7 (Jazz 7)

are two special programs designed for students with that special talent. The latent

spark in them culminates into wild fire by the end of this program. Both, ATP & J7

are intensive training sessions where students are groomed into performers.

People who join SDIPA are influenced in a positive manner, dancing can change lives

and SDIPA imparts that message to all and sundry. 1

LEARNING OUTCOMES ACHIEVED: Outcome 1- increase your awareness of your

strengths and areas for growth


I had joined Shiamak Dawar‟s institute of performing arts at the elementary level to

learn dance at a higher level. At this level we had learned hip-hop and partner work.

We had also put up a show in the class for our family members.


I had hoped to accomplish better communication skills with people by the end of

this activity. Also I had hoped to be a better dancer by the end of this level.



I am pretty successful in achieving my goal. I had become more open in my

interaction with people. I was more welcoming and was initiating conversations

with people. Also since this level was higher than the previous one, I faced difficulty


of 64

due to lack of fitness. But in the end I was able to reach up to the level which was

expected out of us.


Through this activity I was able to explore the dance forms I am comfortable doing.

I learned that people are very helpful when it comes to motivating someone.



My instructor helped me a lot during this activity. He helped me realise that I have

better dance skills than what I think I do. This made me realise that hip-hop is also

something I can do.


I have very different sort of people in my batch. People who wanted to lose weight,

people who wanted to be more fir and people who basically wanted to learn dance.

Since we were in a group we used to keep motivating each other all the time.

Therefore every person in the batch benefited from this activity. Also we had put up

a show in our class. This helped all the people who had been very busy and tired, to

get a lighter moment where they can enjoy and be happy.


Next time I would want to push myself more to come out of my comfort zone.


Hip-hop is a very interesting art form. It can be used in various life situations. Also

like I initiated conversations here, I would want to do the same in my life outside

class.

level to learn dance at a higher level. At this level we had learned the Arabian dance

form. We had chosen an Arabian song „El Ar Be‟ and had danced on this song in a

show which was just meant for the Shiamak students.


Since it was a higher level of dance, it required better fitness. Therefore while

developing new skills I was hoping to attain better level of fitness.



I was quite successful in achieving my goal as I felt that I was more fit towards the

end of the batch. Since this dance required a lot of flexibility, it was an area of

difficulty for me.


of 64


I realised that when we are motivated, we can attain better things at a better level. I

and my batch mates worked very hard towards getting the level of fitness required

for this form of dance.



My batch mates helped me a lot during this activity. They kept motivating me to

push myself throughout the batch.


This activity benefited the whole batch as we all learned a new form of dance and

achieved better fitness.


Next time I would push myself more so that my fitness does not come in between

the technique I aim to learn.


After learning this form of dance, I think I have a very rare quality which I can

exhibit anytime.

I had made a PowerPoint presentation for the show on teacher‟s day ‟08. For this

presentation I had clicked pictures of our teachers in school and compiled them with

quotes to present the essence of teacher‟s day to everyone.


I hoped to give the students a better understanding of the teacher‟s and also wanted

to make the teachers feel very special.


Encounter and how did you overcome them?

I faced a lot of difficulty in clicking pictures as the teacher‟s were not always free. But

in the end I was able to achieve the desired goal

I learned that our thoughts can be portrayed in various ways. Through this

presentation I was able to tell my teachers how much I admire them. Also I got a lot

Of compliments. This made me feel that we always get credit for whatever we do

with a lot of enthusiasm.



My friends were very happy with my idea. They made me realise how much a liked

my teachers and how much I respected them. They could see all this in my work.


All the students who had seem the presentation got to know more about their

teachers and made them like them more.


I would want to click more and more pictures and capture as many as moments

possible of the teacher‟s and their students and put them in the presentation.


I feel that we should surely tell people about our feelings in many ways and we

should always do that.

NAME OF ACTIVITY: Choreography of dance for Teacher‟s Day „08


ACTIVITY LEADER: Gyanendra Tewatia

LEARNING OUTCOMES ACHIEVED: Outcome 3- Planned and initiated activities


For this activity I was supposed to choreograph a dance sequence for Teacher‟s Day

‟08. For this I was given the 6th and 7

th graders. Initially I took the names of the

students who were interested in performing, discussed my idea with them and then

taught dance to the ones who were interested. This activity allowed me to explore

my creativity and also made me feel good since I was teaching it to kids.


I had hoped to develop better communication skills and confidence with this

activity.




of 64

I was very successful in achieving my goal. I communicated very effectively during

the interaction with the students. The students could easily grasp my instructions.

Also since I had to address them a lot, my confidence had increased a lot.


I learnt that if the communication is effective, tasks become easier to handle. I also

learnt that children are very cooperative and serious when they have to do

something which is goal oriented and of a lot of significance to the other person.



Since it was me who was teaching the dance, it was more of self realisation than

someone telling me about my learning.


Since I had made the students practice a lot, it helped then to develop good dance

skills and a new level of fitness.


I would want to include more and more students so that more students benefit from

this activity.


I can now organise and communicate in a better way. This would help me a lot to

handle difficult situations.

NAME OF ACTIVITY: Social service with Sarthak Prayas


ACTIVITY LEADER: Mrs. Seema Arora

LEARNING OUTCOMES ACHIEVED: Outcome 6- engaged with issues of global

importance

:Outcome 7- Considered ethical implications of

your actions

Outcome 5- Showed perseverance and

commitment on your activities


I had joined Sarthak Prayas in my summer vacations. I had helped the organisation

by working with them in schools and helping them organise various camps. This way

I interacted a lot with the underprivileged children and people who wanted to get

checkups done for cancer as well as people who wanted to donate blood.


I hoped to engage with an issue of global importance and consider the ethical

implications of my activity.


of 64



I was very successful in achieving my goal. Blood donation camps, cancer checkups

camps and the teaching I had done at the schools helped me get joined with issues of

global importance. Also since in our daily lives we don‟t interact with these people, I

was able to understand the society around me in a better way. It helped me realise

the importance of the task I was doing.


I learned that there are people in this world who work for non monitory reasons.

These are ethical reasons which help the society. I learned about myself that I was

very attracted towards working for such causes and it was a part of my interests.



My mentor, Mr.Harsh helped me understand the importance of the activity. He

made me realise how important it was for other people and what a great cause it

was.


Since this activity was related to service, the students I taught, the patients at the

cancer check-up camps and the organisation who was collecting blood benefited

from my work.


I would want to get involved in more and more types of activities.


I learned that we should value what we have in our lives as there are a lot of people

who suffer from scarcity of things we tend to waste.

About Blood Donation

Blood donation is carried out when a person voluntarily agrees for blood to be

drawn with the intention of donating it. The donated blood may be used for

transfusions or it may be separated into individual components to be used as

required. The latter procedure is called fractionation.

Blood donation may be of different kinds. In the developed countries unpaid

donors give blood to replenish a community supply. In economically poorer

countries, however, blood donation is carried out according to demand, as the

established blood ties are extremely limited. It may be an altruistic act or it may

include a cash payment or incentives other than money. A person can have blood

drawn and stored for own future use.

In 1997, the World Health Organization (WHO) set a target for all blood donors to

be unpaid volunteers. But statistics, in 2006, revealed that only 49 of 124 countries

surveyed had achieved this target.

Typically, it is mandatory for potential donors to consent to blood donation. In the

case of minors, parental consent is required. In some countries the donors may enjoy

anonymity while in others it may be essential to know the ethnic background of the

donor because some blood types are more common among certain races while being

rare in others.

People who are potential donors are physically examined by a physician and their

medical history is also examined. They will also have their blood screened for

diseases that are easily transmitted through blood donations, such as viral hepatitis

and AIDS.

Blood donation is rather easy and safe for most people. Some may feel faint or feel

some pain when the blood is being drawn. The frequency with which blood can be

drawn is dependent on various factors and also the law of the land. It may in

general vary from days to month.

The amount of whole blood donated may vary between 300ml-500 ml (1 pint).

Collection may be carried out manually or by using automated equipments, the

latter helping to draw specific components from the blood. How often a donor can

donate varies from days to months based on which component of the blood they

are donating and the laws of the country where the donation takes place.

Blood components have a very short shelf life, therefore, acquiring a steady supply

or stock piling blood or any of its components is a perennial problem. To

circumvent this obstacle, scientist even tried their hand at transfusing blood from

other animals to humans but in vain. It appears that only the blood of one human

suit another. But there is more to that too as will be discussed in the coming

sections.

Globally, there are tragedies happening at magnanimous scale and the demand for

blood will escalate. After the September 11 tragedy the need to store blood was

discussed with great fervor and the need to keep stock of a steady supply was greatly

emphasized. According to 2008 estimates there was an annual collection of 81

million units of blood.

Donating blood is definitely an altruistic noble and noble gesture filling the donor

with happiness and contentment. It is an intensely humanitarian act which tides over

manmade barriers and one of the best ways to express our love and care for our

fellow beings.

NAME OF ACTIVITY: Choreography of dance for teacher‟s day „09


ACTIVITY LEADER:

LEARNING OUTCOMES ACHIEVED: Outcome 4- worked collaboratively with

others.


For this activity I was supposed to choreograph a dance sequence for Teacher‟s Day

‟09. For this I was given 7th graders. This mostly consisted of the students whom I

had taught dance for Teacher‟s Day ‟08. I discussed the songs with them and taught

them dance on the song of their choice. This made them more interested in the

activity. I was very comfortable with them as I had taught them before also.


I had hoped to develop better communication skills and confidence with this

activity. Also I wanted to explore my choreography skills with this activity,

I was very successful in achieving my goal. I communicated very effectively during

the interaction with the students. The students could easily grasp my instructions.

Also since I had to address them a lot, my confidence had increased a lot. Also I was

trying to put in very new and difficult steps. This helped me explore my creativity.


I learnt that if the communication is effective, tasks become easier to handle. I also

learnt that children are very cooperative and serious when they have to do

something which is goal oriented and of a lot of significance to the other person.



Since it was me who was teaching the dance, it was more of self realisation than

someone telling me about my learning.


Since I had made the students practice a lot, it helped then to develop good dance

skills and a new level of fitness.


I would want to do a very different and a difficult dance form.


I can now organise and communicate in a better way. This would help me a lot to

handle difficult situations.
