Activity Overview / Details
Thank students for all their hard work and complement them on their posters. Before they go, ask them to do a little challenge work tonight. Have them ask their parents it they are members of any groups or clubs (either now or in the past), and why they joined. What were/are the benefits? Ask students to write a brief summary of what they found and be ready to share it tomorrow. The teacher has the option of collecting the work the following day for credit or leading a discussion. Teacher can lead discussion to working in groups and teams, which matches several of the National FFA LifeKnowledge Precepts (for more information go to www.FFA.org)
