11. There's over 20 slides before you get to the Finish of the IceBreaker Lesson Set. Some are checklists, some are interactive with 1-5 ratings selections. The more time and effort you put into these sections the more you will get out of them. Check off all of the checklists and fill in the 1-5 rating bubbles. Once you've finished checking off all of the lessons and slides and tutorials you can print your IceBreaker Evaluation Form and schedule your Icebreaker Speech with your Club VP Education (having a folder to keep your completed Evaluation Forms in is nice to help keep track of the Speeches you've given)
