Lesson Plans for 'Ten Things' Video Now Available

A booklet of ten lesson plans is now available for use with the 22-minute educational video, "Ten Things Kids Want to Know About Farming." The lesson plans were designed to help teachers expand upon ideas presented in the video through classroom and field activities. The ten lesson plans offer creative ways of teaching fundamental concepts in math, science, history, social science, geography, language arts, and visual arts.

Each lesson plan features a specific learning objective, ways of connecting the lesson to the core curriculum, vocabulary, a list of materials and procedures for conducting the lesson, additional ideas for expanded learning and suggested web sites for background information.

The lesson plans were developed by David O. Pippin, president of Creations & Ideas, Inc. in Richmond Virginia, in consultation with teachers and staff of the American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture and the Virginia Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom. The "Ten Things Kids Want to Know About Farming" video was co-produced by the American Farm Bureau Federation and the AFB Foundation for Agriculture.
