Identifying Activities
• Break into 11 groups
• 5 minutes: Each group will work on indicators
and objective and discuss possible activities
that response to indicator and objectives.
• 3 minutes: presentations

Logic Model Activity
• With your group use the pieces in your
envelope and try to arrange them in logical
order.
• Once you have them in the correct order place
at the top your flip chart paper.
