My Idea is ___ because ___
Activity 2 – Developing a Well-Reasoned Conclusion
Step 1
Watch the activity video.
Building on the idea you tested, prepare a 2-3 minute summary presentation about your conclusion.
Discuss in your presentation what helped you develop your conclusion. For example:
What discoveries did you make as you worked through the elements of the Big Green Hand?
Do you need more information?
Are you less certain than you would like to be?
Is the timing right or wrong to pursue the idea?
Is it a better idea for another person?
Is it consistent with your higher purpose?
Based on your reasoning, are you compelled to invest your life forces to bring the idea forward? Not every idea we test will be worth investing our life force into it.
Step 2
Give your presentations in any order.
As a group, discuss insights.
Step 3
Watch the synthesis video.
