concludes.
- Give participants their appreciation pages from the Motivation activity. Say:
“Besides your wonderful presentations today, you’ve also had a chance to reflect upon your own
growth as a group member. Now I would like you to think about how you have changed personally
since our first session.“Here is your appreciation paper from our opening activity. It has thoughts and observations from your
peers, friends, and teammates during this series of classes. Please take a moment to look it over.”- After a few moments say:
a. “Please look at your paper and draw a ring around something that makes you feel happy or proud.
(Pause a moment.)b. “Then draw a star next to something someone wrote that surprises you. (Pause a moment.)c. “Next, write down three or four skills you learned or improved upon during any of our sessions and
that you are likely to use in the future.” (Pause a moment.)- When participants have finished, ask them to turn to a partner and share the two items they marked
and explain why. They can also talk about the skills they learned which they hope to use in the future. - After about 5 - 7 minutes, invite people to share something from their appreciation papers if they wish.
You can also invite participants to share thoughts, comments, or words of appreciation about the whole
training course.
