Facilitator Ed Johnson II conducts an evaluation of the morning session of a Choices Level 2 Workshop for the kids. Each session is evaluated and participants are asked to give their honest feelings regarding each exercise in each session. This helps the facilitators to know what the group liked and did not like and it gives the participants a chance to voice various feelings, positive or negative, about each session. Exercises which the group did not enjoy, over a period of several workshops, may be dropped from the agenda all together.

Participants Sharon James, Evelyn Tillman, Abby Benner and Rachael Tertel, listen as facilitator Russell Tillman gives instructions on the next exercise that he is about to conduct.

A Gathering started by facilitator Carol Tertel, is where each participant must share their personal beliefs and feelings on a specific subject matter. Participants Sharon James, Evelyn Tillman, Abby Benner, Russell Tillman, Justin Merwarth and facilitator Carol Tertel, listen as Rachael Tertel expresses her opinion on the subject matter that her mother, Carol has introduced to the group for discussion.

During a break, participant Sharon James practices leading facilitator Ed Johnson II in a brainstorm. Sharon was on level 2 and looking forward to a time when she would become an actual facilitator. At every level she would practice different exercises during a break.

This exercise, called Flag Pole, requires participants to place their hands in an alternating fashion, on a stick. Then, in total silence, each participant must attempt to get the group to move in a specific direction around the room until the entire group decides to stop and plant their flag pole in a certain place in the room. Here facilitator Ed Johnson II, the exercise leader, question this group as to whether they are all in the place that they want to be and asks them how they all decided to get there. Participants are Russell Tillman, Danny Gonzalez and Lisa McShane.

Participant Evelyn Tillman speaks in a gathering led by husband Russell Tillman as Sharon James, Abby Benner & Rachael Tertel listen and Russell responds to his wife.

Facilitator Ed Johnson II leads the group in a brainstorm exercise. A topic is put forth, such as; what is violence, and the group comes up with various answers, usually 1 or 2 words that describe what violence is to them. Generally, the board is filled with words at the end of the exercise and it is left up for as much of a session as possible so that everyone has a opportunity to reflect on what each other has contributed.
