CAS practice: Initiate and plan a CAS experience

A student is using "coaching beginner chess sessions for a lunchtime club" to address the learning outcome about initiating and planning a CAS experience. Choose the route that keeps the idea student-led and practical. Select the initiative focus, planning sequence, resource check, and plan boundary. Then answer this in your own words: why would this route keep the CAS evidence and reflection authentic? AI will analyse your reasoning, evidence, reflection quality, and expression.

Worked practice: build the reflection

Work through the CAS task: purpose focus, specific evidence, the CAS move, then a bounded reflection.
