AB Visit a great teacher resource site, stay up-to-date on the most current trends in
educational technology and further your education as a teacher on ways to integrate
technology into classroom learning. www.edudemic.com
CB Explore a website that offers a plethora of information and strategies to incorporate
technology into the classroom, including the following subject areas: Flipped Classroom,
1:1 Implementation, Online Learning, Interactive Whiteboards, Digital Microscopes, Digital
Divide and more. www.edutopia.org
LITERACY TIP:
“Every school needs a rigorous whole-school literacy policy which is implemented systematically across
the curriculum, and all teachers should view themselves as teachers of literacy, regardless of their subject
specialism.” (Literacy Guide for Secondary Schools, 2012)
Implement project-based writing in lieu of or along with tests and quizzes. Base projects
on real-word scenarios for real-world audiences to solve real-world problems. Create
rubrics on your own or with the help of students to direct the focus of the project while
encouraging them to incorporate knowledge found in all subject areas. Use the following
link for examples of project-based writing rubrics: http://wvde.state.wv.us/teach21/
writingrubrics/
COMMON CORE TIP:
“With the adoption of Common Core State Standards (CCSS), it is more important than ever that teachers know
how to conduct purposeful formative assessment.” (Fisher & Frey, 2012)
Have an “exit ticket” strategy at the completion of every class. Pose a summarizing question
then have students provide responses in varied written or verbal formats. One written example
involves students answering a question on a sticky note and posting it on the door as they exit
the classroom. The teacher is able to quickly assess student learning.
LITERACY QUOTES:
“Writing trumps reading (and listening).”
We write to remember. We remember because we write. When we write or type, we are
processing information. We are thinking about it, and thinking increases the likelihood
of retention. (Hurt, 2012)

This year celebrates the 80th anniversary of the iconic blue jacket
that has been a long-time symbol of premier leadership, personal
growth and career success. While several changes have been made
to the blue corduroy over the years, as showcased in a detailed
timeline, one concept remains steadfast – pride. Members both past and present relay the importance
and significance of their own jacket as they provide personal accounts of FFA career experiences while
wearing the blue and gold.

CAREER PATHWAY:
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
• Cluster Skills
. How do FFA and other youth organizations provide “bigger than me” opportunities?
/ What are five ways the jacket has changed in appearance since it was first introduced in 1935?
0 Why do you think FFA has implemented changes to the jacket over the years?
1 What changes or additions would you make to the FFA jacket if given the opportunity?
2 Explain how the FFA jacket unites members from across the country. What other symbols unify members?
ACTIVITY:
Activity #1: Utilizing the Double Bubble Thinking Map (Appendix 1), discover the similarities and
differences between Official Dress of FFA and official dress/uniforms of other great youth organizations
such as Boy Scouts of America, Girl Scouts of America, 4-H or even your home sports teams. Allow
students to choose the other organization to compare/contrast and allow them to discover their
answers on the Internet, by their own experiences or by inviting a representative from one of the
organizations. Hold a discussion and focus on the tradition and pride of all official dress and uniforms.
Activity #2: Students will summarize their reading from, “Once Blue, Forever Blue,” while creating
their own ideas and borrowing some from other organizations. “Something Old, Something New,
Something Borrowed, Something Blue” (Appendix 2) will allow students to draw their ideas into a
visual representation as they will select a “new look” for future FFA jackets. However, they must
include the following: three concepts from past jackets that are different than today’s; three new
ideas for a more futuristic jacket; three ideas they have seen on uniforms from other organizations;
and three items from the current jacket that they would like to stay. Discuss their thoughts and
feelings on vision and why it is necessary to be creative and share your vision with others.

The “Blue Jacket Bonanza Program” was developed to provide local FFA members, who do not
have the financial means, a chance to earn their own blue jacket. Learn more: https://www.FFA.org/
FFAResources/Educators/bluejacketbonanza/Pages/default.aspx
SAE TIP:
If students are planning to apply for an SAE grant this year and have no financial support from home,
encourage them to add “Purchase FFA Jacket” as one of their budget items and explain their need
in the budget narrative. Many students who receive the grant become invested and passionate about
their project, which leads them to pursue other FFA activities where a jacket is required. The SAE
grant application period opens Sept. 3, 2013, and all grants must be submitted by Nov. 15, 2013.

B<,)!!")C'&+,-D)")E(7.'()F$$7/Did you know your FFA jacket traveled the world before
you ever put it on? It takes multiple countries to make
the official FFA jacket happen and to keep the cost
around $50 – the price it has remained for the past
20 years, thanks to global sourcing. Here are some
fast facts about the official FFA jacket:
• 70,000 jackets are sold annually.
• The jacket underwent restoration from 2003 to
2005 to establish a new standard of blue, restore
the design and color of the emblem, improve the
fit and comfort, and increase its durability.
• The fabric is made of U.S. cotton.
• The raw cotton is shipped to China, where it is woven
and dyed.
• The finished cotton is moved to two manufacturing
facilities – one in Vietnam and the other in Ohio,
where the jackets are cut and sewn, and emblems
are attached.
• Each jacket uses 1.6 yards of fabric. More than
110,000 yards of fabric are used annually.
• All jackets are personalized at Universal Lettering
Co. in Ohio.
• 50,000 jackets are imported; 20,000 are
made domestically.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
! Which states does the soybean thrive within the United States? Why?
" Why do many companies use soy in their cosmetics?
# What is biodegradable? List other items that are biodegradable.
$ Why is it important that those in agriculture continuously seek ways to make changes?
Shouldn’t we just focus on the old saying, “If it’s not broke, don’t fix it”?
% How can you, as a student, show your support of soy?
ACTIVITY:
Create a word cloud via Wordle – www.wordle.net (Appendix 3-Must have Java installed to run the
program) or other methods that answers the questions listed with provided answers (Appendix 4)
and have students post their work in the classroom for others to view and compare. Provide time to
discuss their answers and any differences they found while gathering information. Additionally, a
general rubric (Appendix 5) is provided for grading word clouds.
FFA TIP:
Encourage students to become involved with plant-based CDEs. Many students seem to naturally
gravitate more toward animal-related events; however, there is great opportunity with plants; especially
when considering job openings in the agriculture career field.
https://www.ffa.org/programs/awards/cde/Pages/default.aspx
SAE TIP:
Have students create a plan for a plant-based SAE and submit an application for an SAE grant.
Based on grant applications submitted last year, 71 percent represented the Animal Systems pathway
while only 18 percent represented the Plant Systems pathway.

The discussion of “renewable energy” is one that won’t go away anytime soon.
With the recent Renewable Portfolio Standard legislation requirement that has
been imposed on several states, many are seeking ways to increase the production
of renewable energy sources. As a result, students should seek opportunities to
gain knowledge, understanding and preparation in pursuit of a career based on
renewable energy. The sky is truly the limit for agriculture as we all work toward supplying energy
from our renewable natural resources.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
! Why should everyone take an interest or at least stay informed with the topic of “renewable energy?”
" What are some of the most popular forms of renewable energy? Why?
# Why might some people be apprehensive when discussing changes for the future of energy?
$ Explain why there is expected to be such a promising future for those involved in the career field
of renewable energy.
%&What are some of the career opportunities available for people in the field of renewable energy?
ACTIVITY:
Students will work individually to research and present a renewable energy source of their choice
(Appendix 6). Once students are finished researching and developing, they will present their
information to the class. *Tip – If you find that several students chose the same energy source, have
them work together to present the information as a group and then grade their project individually.
Utilizing the rubrics (Appendix 7), determine if students are proficient in their knowledge of an
alternative energy source. *Tip – Give students both rubrics at the beginning of the project.
FFA TIP:
Encourage students to inform other students their own age or younger about the importance
of renewable energy. The PALS program has a great curriculum for teaching others about this
important topic: https://www.ffa.org/FFAResources/ffalearn/pals/handbook2/Pages/The-Story-of-RenewableEnergy.aspx. Utilize resources found in the Middle School Food and Agricultural Literacy Curriculum
for furthering discussion on renewable energy sources:
https://www.ffa.org/FFAResources/ffalearn/midschoolfoodandagr/Pages/default.aspx
SAE TIP:
Look for ways to get students involved in your community through the following potential SAE
placement opportunities that all can be linked to potential college or technical degrees: ethanol
plant, growing switch grass, working with plant breeders for crops used in biofuels, solar power
use, nutrient management specialist, using and maintaining methane generators, agricultural plant
production research, windmill maintenance and use, and agricultural renewable energy engineer.
