Critique of a Small Group Ministry Session Plan
Based on "Session Plan Development/Selection Guidelines" in Small Group Ministry With All Ages, UU SGM Network, June 2011.
1. It is helpful to critique plans as you develop them, or as you review available plans.
2. While the critique can be done by the creators or selectors, it may be helpful to have someone less directly involved in the creation or selection of the plan to also review it.
3. Please critique a session plan before sending it for inclusion on the Network website. (The critique itself does not need to be sent in.)
