Strongly Agree/Disagree

Make sure the team is respectful to teammates that are sharing their entries. It can be scary for someone to share their writing, especially journal entries. Give each team member enough time to fully share the entries they ’ ve chosen to read.

Strongly Agree/Strongly Disagree

This activity will get the team up and moving as they share their overall opinions on the CNA.

Designate two sides of the room to “ strongly agree ” and “ strongly disagree. ” The center of the room will represent a neutral feeling or “ neither agree nor disagree. ” Halfway between the center of the room and the respective walls should be “ agree ” and “disagree. ”

Have the team start in the center. Then, you will read statements about the project that can elicit these types of answers.

For example:

These questions may be general, but the various degrees of answers can demonstrate how every team member had different experiences.

Have the team move to the spot that best represents their answer to each statement. When they have dissembled, ask them to share their personal experiences and why they chose their responses. Let the discussion go in whatever direction it takes and get the perspective of every team member that wants to share. This activity will gauge the consensus of the group or how different their opinions are. With a baseline understanding of everyone ’ s opinions, you can open up reflection to be even more specific or detailed.

The CNA was overall enjoyable for me. I would encourage other teenagers to participate in a CNA. I struggled more than not during this CNA. I was overall satisfied with the results of our CNA. I would not change anything about the process of the CNA.
