Teacher Notes
|
This
lesson is designed for students to research an agricultural career that
interests themselves. I have
developed it for an introductory agricultural class aimed at the 9th
grade. Before this topic will be
covered, the class will have gone over the different areas of agriculture
such as animal science, crop science, and business. The future lessons to follow this one will be interviewing
skills and resume writing. |
