Check out these links to various AFNR resources that teachers can use as part of their classroom curriculum today. Disciplinary Literacy resources are included because reading, writing, speaking, and listening in this content area are critical skills for students to master if they are pursuing careers in this content area.

The objective of this lesson is to help the students better understand their agricultural career and to share the career with their peers.  The students select an agricultural career using the Ag in the Classroom lesson - Agricultural Careers.  They then research their career and prepare an index card with information to share.  The students are instructed to create a simple outfit showing the items a person in their career might wear for their work.  The students then conduct a Ag Career Fashion Show.  They dress up and read from their card the information they learned about the career.  To make it more fun add a party light and music for them to walk the cat walk for the fashion show!  

Agriculture careers can be found in more than just the Agriculture career cluster! Click here to find other Agriculture-related careers in the attached Career Cluster Chart.
