HS.116 How and Why Do You Get Involved in Organizations
This LifeKnowledge lesson (HS.116, “How and Why Do You Get Involved in Organizations?”) teaches students the four research-based reasons people get involved in organizations—accomplishment, influence, relationship, and discovery—and connects these to participation in the FFA. Students develop their own definitions of the four reasons and create a matrix categorizing FFA activities according to which need each one meets. The lesson includes an interest approach, teaching strategies, transparency masters, a student activity sheet, and a written assessment.
