What to tell your CAS advisor?
Every time you come up with an idea for a CAS experience you need to ask you CAS advisor before starting with your experience. Here is what you can ask/tell your advisor –
Dear Ma’am or Sir,
For a CAS experience under the strand of Creativity and Service, I will be creating an animation explainer video with an organization called Animation Explanation. I have written the video script (or writeup) and will be helping in the preparing of the video. This video will contain a short clip on an NGO called “Kolbe Home”, which is a home for prisoner’s children. I will be sending my video across to all family and friends for them to watch my video, understand my topic through the doodles and animations, raise awareness for the NGO and raise funds for the NGO. Please do confirm if this is acceptable to be counted as an experience under Creativity and Service.
