ALL 4-H FCS Judging Local Unit Resources NOW Posted
Thank you for your interest and patience as we completed the final pieces of the 4-H FCS Judging resources for your local unit use. The following items are now available for your use:
*2016 FCS Local Unit Resource Video – This is a recorded version of the Zoom video that the FCS Judging Committee conducted on Wednesday, January 13. The video is 58 minutes in length, and shares information about all the resources that are available to you.
*Scavenger Hunt Photos – This document contains color copies of the photos that you will need to do the scavenger hunt. Simply print the copies that you need and cut the photos apart for individual prints.
*Scavenger Hunt Rubric – The first page of this document is the scoring rubric. The following pages contain justification for each photo’s placement in the FCS Essential Skills categories, which will assist with scoring of this experience.
These items, as well as all the other items that have been posted are available here: http://www.kansas4-h.org/events-activities/contests/fcs-judging/fcs-judging-preparation.html.
We will not be sending items electronically to units, as there have been 18 different media files posted for your use.
Another resource that can be utilized, are these promotion blurbs for your local newsletters or email blasts about 4-H FCS Judging. Becky Reid created these, and we hope that they will help you spread the word about your local 4-H FCS contest initiatives.
