HS.113 How Organizations Are Structured – National, State and Local
This LifeKnowledge lesson (HS.113) teaches students how organizations—specifically the FFA—are structured at the national, state, and local levels. Through interest activities, a sports-team analogy, and a simulation in which students role-play decision-making bodies voting on FFA official dress, students learn to define organizational structure and identify decision makers at each FFA level.
