The top two participants in each area will move on to the state competition. *Event Details:* This event is open to FFA members in *grades 9-12* and is limited to *one student per chapter*. On the Area level, the Agricultural Education CDE will consist of three parts: 1. Organize, prepare, and write a lesson plan using the “Lesson Plan Submission” guidelines. 2. Teach a 4-6 minute interest approach from the lesson plan to a panel of judges; no students will be present, and judges will not ask follow-up questions. - The rubric for the Area presentation can be found on page 8 of the guidelines attached and linked below. 3. Complete a multiple-choice exam On the Area level of competition, students will still turn in a full lesson plan and take a quiz. However, the teaching practicum on the area level will require the student to teach a 4-6 minute interest approach rather than teach the full lesson. An interest approach presentation rubric for the Area level has been added to the CDE guidelines. *Agriculture Education LDE Guidelines and additional information regarding the lesson plan requirement can be found HERE <https://streaklinks.com/BzmZHgUIyEhTsiuK7gXtx1U9/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.georgiaffa.org%2Fdocs%2F92869_Ag_Education_LDE_Revised_2023.pdf>. * *Lesson Plan Details: * The lesson topic may be selected from the following areas: a.
