4-H is a community of young people learning citizenship,

leadership, and life skills. It is designed to teach life skills through

fun, hands-on activities. Rutherford County 4-H

offers 4-H programs in a school setting.

There are also many other opportunities for

participation in other areas. Many students do not

have the opportunity to participate in a school club. To make

4-H available to everyone, we offer afterschool,

out-of-school, and summer programs.

Welcome to 4-H!

Lane Agri-Park

315 John R. Rice Blvd. Suite 101

can be a real help to your club. Officers should set a good example by

participating in contests, reminding members of upcoming 4-H meetings

and activities and helping the club meetings run smoothly. Officers

should be elected based on their ability to do a good job, not

popularity.

Officers should take their jobs seriously and do the very best that they

How to Present a Great Speech.

Voice: Your voice is a great tool in

communication. What you have to

say is important so you want the

audience to hear you.

1. Speak up – Don’t shout at the

audience, but use a “big” voice

2. Speak at a slower pace

3. Work on word pronunciation

4. Be confident

5. Be natural and relaxed

Eye Contact: This can make a huge

difference in the audience interest in

what you say.

1. Maintain eye contact with

the audience. Focus at looking

at the audience throughout

your speech.

2. Try not to stare at an object

in the back of the room.

3. Look for your friends in the

audience, but don’t forget

about everyone else.

Posture: How you stand during your

speech is important. You want to

appear confident and interested in

your speech.

1. Stand up tall, hold your notes

at chest height, not in front of

your face.

2. You can walk while

presenting your speech.

Gestures & Expressions: Expressions

are a powerful addition to any

speech. But BEWARE: they can also

be a distraction.

1. Use hand gestures that are

natural to you.

2. Hold your notes in your

hands, but try to avoid “playing”

with them.

3. Smile! Look happy and

excited about your speech.

Write it out. Don’t read your speech,

but do have it written out in front of

you on note cards or on paper. You

don’t have to memorize your speech.

“Ums and Ahs” : Try to avoid using

“um” & “ah”. This is best done by

practicing your speech and being

sure of what you’re saying. The more

you practice, the better your speech

will be.

Practice, Practice, Practice: You

can’t practice too much. Give your

speech in front of anyone who will

listen: parents, brothers, sisters,

neighbors, friends, dogs, cats, fish, to

yourself in the mirror. Be prepared.

15

Are you ready to give a speech in your classroom?

Start getting ready now.

You can give your speech on any topic you choose! Pick a topic that you know

about. You can talk about your family vacation, favorite animal, pet, or a good

book you read. Let your imagination be your guide!

4th grade - 1 to 3 minutes 6th-8th grade - 3 to 7 minutes

4-H Project Demonstrations

For 4th & 5th Grade Members

Join the fun! Share your skills! Presenting a demonstration gives you a

chance to share something you have learned with your class. Be sure it is

a teaching moment.

Guidelines to Follow 1. In a demonstration, you should both show and tell how to do

something. You may also show how to make something or how

something works. Choose a topic that is neither too complicated

nor too simple. All topics must be approved by your teacher.

2. All 4-H members must do individual demonstrations. No partners

allowed.

3. Both posters and project materials (props) should be used in a

demonstration along with the spoken script (speech). Posters are

highly recommended but not required.

4. Do Not use live animals or babies. Do Not use audience

participation. Do Not use videos, DVDs, or power point programs.

Do Not use tri-fold boards instead of posters. Do Not bring any

items that are prohibited at school.

5. Do Not demonstrate volcanoes, “gak” or “goop”, simple

sandwiches, slice and bake cookies, or paper-folding (origami)

crafts. They are too simple or too messy.

6. Your demonstration should be no more than 3 minutes long.

7. A good demonstration has three main parts: Introduction, Body

and Conclusion.

19

Steps in Planning and Giving a Demonstration 1. Planning

• Choose one simple idea that you are comfortable teaching

• First, plan the Body by listing the steps involved in the demonstration. Write

an explanation to go with each step. Plan how to show each step.

• Plan the Conclusion next, restating the main points. Be sure to show the

finished product if you have one and give the source of your information.

• Then, plan the Introduction. This should introduce your topic, not you. Select

a catchy title. Think of an opening statement that lets your audience know

what you are demonstrating and the purpose of your presentation.

• If your demonstration has a number of steps that require some “waiting

time” in between the steps, plan to bring examples of the project at each

stage in the process. This is often the case with crafts or foods, and will

require more materials. This is how you can show the whole project within the

time limit.

2. Preparation • Make a list of all materials and equipment needed. Gather these supplies.

• Posters are highly recommended, but not required. If you choose to make

posters, we suggest using this guide (No tri-fold boards).

• Title Poster

• Supplies Poster - or list of ingredients or materials.

• Directions Poster – or steps to follow.

• Letters and pictures should be large enough to be seen across the

classroom.

• Letters on title posters should be at least 2-3 inches high. Letters on other

posters should be around 1 – 2 inches high.

• Block letters are easiest to read. All letters on one poster should be the same

color for ease of reading.

• Posters may be on white or colored poster board. Use dark colors on light

backgrounds and light colors on dark backgrounds for contrast.

• Here is a website with more great tips for posters. • http://extension.usu.edu/files/publications/publication/4-H_Demonstrations_2008-02pr.pdf

• Prepare demonstration according to your plans.

• Make sure your information is correct and that you include your source.

• Remember time limit: under 3 minutes.

• Practice! Practice! Practice!

3. Presentation • Check and re-check to make sure you have everything you need.

• Don’t introduce yourself; just start with your topic introduction.

• Remember to speak slowly and clearly. Be yourself!

• Smile! Look at your audience whenever possible.

• Keep your working area neat and clean. Remember to keep all bowls,

boxes, etc. to the side of you and "work" in the center. Have towel ready for

any messes.

• Tell your source of information and show a finished product if you have one.
