Akanksha writes about her very personal experience with her service and really has fully embraced the C.A.S with open arms. It is really amazing to be able to read all of her personal stories about her life in grade 11. Upon reading all of Akanksha’s portfolio I am now aware of three things that I know about grade 11 life:
- Activity and service are very essential to learning.
Whenever she posts it is mainly regarding one of her experiences that she has had more often than not. For example, every time she has done service it has been recorded through one of her posts. She tells how she has used the activity to better her learning and how much the experience she has learned.
2. Grade 11’s must post and update their portfolio very often.
I know understand that the portfolio is something that has to be updated a lot and should be kept neat and orderly for someone else to follow. She writes very clearly in her posts and it is really engaging to read. When she writes about her trips to Cambodia it is almost like a diary entry which is something that takes a lot of time.
3. Grade 11’s have to plan ahead and be organized.
Whenever Akanksha talks about her activities it is clear to see that a lot of planning has gone into her activities, I see that from all of her reflections that they all went quite smoothly and that she was very organized. Overall I was very impressed and I aim to be able to have that level of preparation and that I have a portfolio that is that neat.
I was very impressed with her work and it has given me a lot of insight into what my portfolio should look like and that I
also now have learned the standard that my work needs to be at with regards to my portfolio and my service.
