So you’re in the midst of ANIMAL NUTRITION… You’ve taught the nutrient categories. You’ve taught how to read a feed label.
You’ve taught Pearson’s Square…and even made it more engaging by using trail mix to have students use Pearson’s Square to create their own “ration”. But how do you make animal nutrition more EXCITING?
I feel like I’m working harder than my students in this CDE! We have all thought this at some point in our career. We are trying to convince this quick witted student that they would be perfect for Extemporaneous Public Speaking LDE.
Do your students struggle with determining their SAE? Vegetable garden. Layer hens. Fair project. These were the most common SAEs my students initially identified and when I started teaching, I had a hard time directing them to more innovative and higher level SAEs.
From the tours to the food, and the excitement your members have the first time they complete at the national level, the first time they eat at a fancy restaurant, the first time they leave the state…National FFA Convention was always my favorite FFA event of the year.
