2006 Texas 4-H State food Show Guidlines

For those of you that are interested in pursuing method demonstration, illustrated talks, etc. at Round-Up Activities. Beginning with the 2005-2006 Texas 4-H Year the 4-H Program is re-introducing the Method Demonstrations and Illustrated Talk contests as Educational Presentations. This concept was suggested through the listening groups held across the state in 2003 and by recommendations of the Texas 4-H Roundup Advisory Committee. Basically, an Educational Presentation is the expansion of a Method Demonstration and Illustrated Talk to include the option of presenting a public speech on that particular project/contest topic or choose to continue presenting a method demonstration or illustrated talk. This opportunity will focus on several of the important and primary concepts of our presentation contests which are public speaking, the organization process, and delivery of a presentation.

The Public Speaking contest at Roundup will still remain a separate contest in which youth addressing issues not matching to a project contest area will continue to enter. Also, Educational Presentations can be longer in time than the Public Speaking Contest and can include up to 5 4-H members, whereas Public Speaking is an individual entry.

Other things to remember about the Educational Presentations are: *Teams can consist of 1 to 5 4-H members. *The validity of the resources are very important - please assist 4-H members in making sure that true and valid resources are used in the development of the presentations. *A new score sheet will be used with the presentations. Please make sure that all 4-H members are aware of the new judging requirements and formats. *All of these documents are located on the publication page of the Texas 4-H and Youth Development website.

The attached public speaking score sheet is the same as in the past, but with an updated appearance. Thank you. Toby L.
