Corey Smith Follow Up
Salsa Share—Start a Fire!
• Participants line up around the room by how hot they
like their peppers –(we have pics of various peppers
around the room and name their group by their
pepper heat).
• Each group (they are now out of their own RCN),
using chart paper, identifies 5-10 concepts/ideas from
the morning, that could be used in their own RCN.
• Then have them return to their table and share the
concepts from their pepper group (in most cases, you
will have different peppers at each table so almost
every group will be represented). In this way, the
RCN then leaves with many more ways to use the
concepts then had they just stayed in their groups.
