Creed Instructions

Students must recite the Creed according to the curriculum. You are allowed to recite paragraph 3 by Wednesday and a paragraph of your choosing that you consider you favorite of them, along with the reason why it is your favorite. Record yourself saying the paragraph of the creed and send the video to the instructor's Outlook email.  Be sure to watch some FFA Creed YouTube videos. Links to an external site.

 

Things to remember: Intro, Body, Conclusion

     Regardless of what you are doing in life, (job interview, leaving a message on the phone, etc..) you should have this as your game plan.

First Introduce yourself and what can be expected from this conversation (the thesis)

            Ex. " Hello, my name is Daniel Hebert and today I am going to be reciting the first paragraph of the FFA Creed.

Next, the body.  Say what you have to say.

           Ex. Say the appropriate sentence or paragraph.

Finally, finish up be basically saying your intro in reverse order.  (Restate the thesis and give an appropriate conclusion.

          Ex. You have just heard me recite the first sentence of the FFA Creed. Again, my name is Daniel Hebert. Thank you

 

This is just an example. Please put some feeling into your speech.  The majority of a message is in the voice and body language.  Know what the words mean so you can place emphasis on the words you want to give meaning.  Don't use your hands too much (like if you look like you are swatting at flies) but only to give emphasis.

 

Points will be given for delivery and taken away for missing/adding words and/or punctuation.
