A. Back to Back, Face to Face
Participants review important points of the session.
- Ask participants to become partners with the person next to them and stand back to back. (If the
number of participants is odd, the leader can pair up with one participant.) Say:
“I’d like to get a quick idea of how helpful this session was for you today. I’ll ask you a question. While
your back is to your partner, you can think about your answer. When I say, ‘Face to face,’ turn around
and take a few moments to share your answer with your partner. Ready? Here is your first question:
‘What is something about values that you had never thought of before?’”- Pause a moment so participants can think, then say, “Face to face.” After participants have had a brief
conversation, say:
“Please turn back to back for your next question: ‘Which two of your values might you choose as
guiding principles in your life and why?’”- Pause a moment so participants can think, then say, “Face to face.” Allow for a brief conversation, then
say:
“Please turn back to back for your next question: ‘What is something you learned about your values
that you will use in the next few days?’”- Pause a moment so participants can think, then say, “Face to face.” Allow for a brief conversation, then
say:
“Thank your partner or sharing his or her ideas and for listening to yours.”Note: These questions serve as an assessment of Learning Objective 3.B. Summary
Ask for everyone’s attention before you summarize. Say:“Thank you for sharing all your great ideas about values. Today we’ve talked about how our values are
learned from our parents, friends, community, and culture. We’ve seen how we use them to make
decisions and you’ve had a chance to identify several values that are especially important to you. The
next time we meet, we’ll be focusing on how our values and other factors influence the way we see and
interpret the world around us.”
