A rating only counts today if you can point to something you actually did, said or made in this strand.
On the board are three stems: "In the influence map I...", "When we ran the count I noticed...", "During the third action I...".
One modelled sentence is enough: not "I get politics", but "I placed the county council under the body it answers to and named the link".
Keep those stems in sight. Next you open the audit and practise specificity by doing it.
First, two minutes with a partner: swap one real moment each that could count as evidence (use the stems on the board if you are stuck). Then open the interactive on your own device. For each of the four items, give yourself a rating and write one specific piece of evidence from this strand.
Both boxes must be filled or the row stays open.
On Acting on democracy, your evidence must say what changed and what did not.
When you finish the four, answer the two prompts at the end in your own words.
Make the share quick and fair so more voices get heard. Nothing is written up as a shared answer and nothing is scored.
1. Hands up: which of the four audit items felt thinnest for you?
2. Three pairs, cold-called: one surprise about how power works in Ireland, and one remaining gap, from each pair.
Listen for the gap between what the strand explained and what still feels foggy. That gap is useful, not a failure.
You can now:
That honest picture is what you carry into the Action Record work ahead.
