Part of Lesson Plan: What is the FFA? (older/experienced members) 3
Activity Overview / Details
Have a discussion about if any perceptions were changed by the video. Explain to students that there is much more to the FFA than meets the eye, and today they will have the opportunity to explore what the FFA really is all about. Through computer research (use a computer lab or lap tops), students will research what the FFA is and create a poster "advertising" the FFA. Rubric for poster evaluation provided. Teacher will supply a web page (below) for information in addition to other materials (FFA Manual, Handbook). Students will also be provided with paper and markers/pencils as available for class. Teacher can modify poster to a PowerPoint or even a web page. In a shop class it could even involve construction.
