IB/CAS Proposal
Candidate Name: Enya Calibuso
Activity/Project: Afrika Tikkun (UMOJA) Project
Date: 5 September 2013
Intro:
I chose to join
Afrika Tikkun because I’ve always been interested in working and tutoring
children, and starting a book club. My skills are communication, planning and
organizing, and writing.
Targeted Learning Outcomes:
I have planned and initiated a new
activity – Reading
Groups. My previous experience for Afrika Tikkun is one year of tutoring. This
will make it easier, to choose a grade level to work with, the territory is
familiar, and I have great backgrounds to work off which will enhance my
progress with the reading groups.
This project would complete my Creativity
and Service section of CAS.
Activity Description:
I would choose
an age group appropriate for the books that are offered at the community center
library. We would sit in groups of three to four children per tutor and read.
My role is to assist in sounding out words, pronunciation, and distinguishing
vowels and consonants. My responsibility is to review what they read, so the
students can comprehend the story. Show the pictures in the book. Then, to have
small discussions to ensure their general understanding of what was going on in
the story. There will be time allotted for questions.
End:
This is no long
stepping out of my comfort zone due to my volunteer history at Afrika Tikkun.
There is opportunity for me to critically reflect on learning outcomes and
personal learning through this activity, because I will find flaws within my
own system. I will rectify these problems to ensure a smooth reading group next
week. I am able to stretch myself beyond what I perceive as my limits, because
of the rigorous IB workload and extracurricular activities. This is not a sure
thing, I do have to learn to cope with downfalls that have real world
consequences, because every student is different and learns at a difference
pace. There may be behavioral, concentration, communication issues. I must to
ready to know how to handle each of these situations. I will be a positive role
model that fosters civic responsibility, by being timely, doing the work that I
promised the students, and sharing laughter and humor along with compassion.
