IB/CAS Proposal
Candidate Name: Enya Calibuso
Activity/Project: Johannesburg Model United Nations (JOMUN)
Date: 5 September 2013
Intro:
I chose to join
JOMUN because; I’ve always been interested in international relations and
global problems. My skill level is a beginner/novice. My talent is fast typing.
Targeted Learning Outcomes:
I have worked collaboratively with others of the JOMUN press team. I will
contribute to writing articles on the events of the days. These articles will
go into the finished product – JOMUN newspaper – at the end of the three-day
conference, along with other articles from other journalists. I am engaged in issues of global importance
through JOMUN by researching the new topic “Promoting Sustainable Solutions in
Africa,” included sustainable farming in Africa, Finding ways to eradicating
systemic governmental corruption, Women’s economic empowerment, and developing
economic partnerships between LEDC’s and MEDC’s. I am a novice in JOMUN,
therefore; this experience is allowing me to expand. I will develop new skills in listening and note taking,
summarizing, and producing a final written newspaper for all to see. This would
enhance my writing skills in school.
This activity would complete my
Creativity section of CAS.
Activity Description:
Currently we are
in the planning stage assigning tasks for each press member. Each press member
will know their location and place to take notes and create an article based on
the delegations to take place. Then, the press member would draft the material
to be published into the newspaper. My role in JOMUN is to be a columnist. My
responsibilities include note taking, background context, correct facts, and
composing gathered information into one article for the JOMUN newspaper.
End:
There is
opportunity for me to critically reflect on my learning outcomes and personal
learning through this activity. 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 I may not always agree on the
perspective of other and I am still required to write the article in a neutral
informative tone. I will be a positive role model that fosters civic
responsibility, by making poster to engage students on the activities taking
place in JOMUN.
