The Common Ground Network for Life and Choice Manual

Before starting, tell the group that it will be asked to report on its "action plan" during the last large
group session. If there are more than one action idea it might be helpful to form working sub-groups
in which case each sub-group will present its action plan to the larger group.
As appropriate, continue discussion of questions raised during the 1:45 discussion. Additional
questions to consider include:
* What do we need to do - next Monday – a week from now - two weeks from now - one month
from now - etc. to accomplish this action idea? Remind participants that one possible action is to
contact anyone outside their group who offered assistance.
* What role can each member play in implementing these action ideas. Most importantly, who
will lead?
Tamara Kreinen, from the Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, will be circulating through each
group to offer advice and assistance as needed. Recorders should record all action steps, along with
who will do what, in a chronological fashion on newsprint.
