The activity guide is designed for older youth, teachers and project leaders to involve groups in experiential activities related to the beef animal. Does a good job of involving youth and a selected adult in the learning process. Project is based on teamwork and team planning, implementing, and processing what was completed and learned. Options for using the curriculum are member-directed but could be used on an individual or in a group setting. Educational experiences for varied learning styles seem to be crucial for optimum success.
Facilitator needs to be on-site.
Learning experiences are encouraged and allow for varying experiences. Targeted life skills are clearly identified, defined, and in writing. A good model for other curriculum. Some youth with certain disabilities may not be able to do all the indicated activities, however, they could participate in discussion of safety rules of showing, etc. Subject matter is good but there is a strong encouragement for users to search and find answers on their own.
