Name: Jacob Walter Date

Situation:
Students have upcoming applications for degrees, proficiencies, and applications. It is important that students have
the skills they need to fill out applications as they near graduation and the work force. This lesson is part of an “FFA
Friday”

Standards:
Targets/Questions/Objectives:
I can identify aspects of successful applications.
I can write effective picture captions.
I can apply these skills to my own applications.
Plan of Action (Time included):

Hook: Extreme example of a bad application.

Show students the picture of the bad application and ask if they would hire that person.
Why not?

Filling out applications is a necessary skill in the real world, and in high school. There are awards and honors, and
eventually scholarships and jobs. That is why it is important to focus on these skills.

Activity: Focus deeper on the reasons they would not hire that applicant
Grammar, spelling, involvement, presentation, etc.

Talk about captions. How do we caption photos for awards.

Ordinary vs. extraordinary.

Give students time to work on applications and record books.

Assessment: Check in with students to see what they accomplished. Be checking throughout the time they are
working to see their progress.

Differentiated: Not every student is doing the same applications so they are able to apply this to the level best for
them.
