A List of Benefits
Part of Lesson Plan: FFA: The Benefits to Involvement (Lesson 1 of 4)
Activity Overview / Details
After the video, ask students to share out loud benefits that they think exist (from what they know, have heard, or saw in the video). As they share, record them quickly on the writing surface. Lead discussion to the fact that all of these reasons likely fit into four categories: Friends, Travel, Money, Fun (there are other categories, but these will likely result in the most buy in from students at this point). Pass out FFA Benefits handout (attached below). Ask students to record the benefits listed on the board on their worksheet in the appropriate column. Upon completing the list, transition into the next activity.
