CAS practice: Prepare for the first CAS interview

A student is preparing for the first CAS interview before starting "running an after-school language exchange for newly arrived students". Choose the route that uses starting-point evidence, goals, and first actions without claiming outcomes early. Select the first interview focus, starting-point evidence, goal-setting move, and first interview 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.
