Part 1C: Me – Etiquette

This is an FFA quick lesson plan (“Me: Etiquette,” Section 3: Part 1) that teaches students what etiquette is and the rules of proper etiquette across several settings—meeting people, dining, listening, email, and cell phone use. Students complete a “Guess Who” interest approach, work in groups to evaluate etiquette scenarios, review key etiquette tips via PowerPoint, and reflect using a worksheet. It is designed to accompany any LifeKnowledge unit.
