This exercise should take 5 minutes.

Reflecting on the Day

Before we wrap up for the day, take 5 minutes to think over everything we covered today. On a piece of paper, write down something that captures what you want to remember about the day. The Trainers won’t look at this - it’s just for you.

If you don’t know where to start, consider the following list for a starting point:

• draw a concept map, connecting the material
• draw pictures or a comic depicting one of the day’s concepts
• write an outline of the topics we covered
• write a paragraph or “journal” entry about your experience of the training today
• write down one thing that struck you the most

This exercise should take about 10 minutes.
