4-H teaches life skills. The four H’s stand for head, heart, hands, and health. Perhaps the most valuable learning activity in which all 4-H youth are asked to participate is completing a project record. This record is a summary of what the youth has accomplished in 4-H during the past year. It shows the value of being in 4-H by recording what is learned and accomplished. By working through the process provided to produce a project record, the youth employs and coordinates several very important life skills.

First it is necessary to set goals for the coming year; then plan how to achieve those goals. As the year progresses, records must be kept of the things he or she does to work toward accomplishing the goals – what they did, and most important, what they learned through doing. Additionally, the child is responsible for participating in community service projects during the year, and to grow in citizenship. Citizenship includes experiences such as serving as an officer, developing leadership skills, visiting the county or city commissioners meetings, learning about flag etiquette, the election process, how our government works, and much more.

One of the highlights of the 4-H year is project judging – it is wonderful to see what each child has learned and accomplished in their year’s 4-H journey. As the child gets older, the content is more developed and the quality gradually improved. But even on the most beginning level of completing project records, the children develop

skills in: critical thinking, decision making, goal setting, planning, organizing, communication and writing, service to others, citizenship, leadership, self-expression, and record keeping. Along the way each of them also learns subject matter – perhaps cooking and food safety; pet care/horsemanship, sewing, robotics, electric, alternative energy, environmental science- and other topics they are interested in.

Two of the essential elements of the 4-H experience are “Opportunity for Mastery” and “Engagement in Learning”. Mastery is the building of knowledge, skills, and attitudes and being able to demonstrate how to use what you have learned. Engagement is when you are able to expand your understanding and learn from your experiences, making connections to other areas of your life. As you prepare for project judging, take the time to really focus on your project record books. This is your opportunity to reflect on what you have learned and share that with others.

What Do You Learn When You

Are A 4-H Member?

July 20174-H Express 2

Members must attend Special Interest Project Judging to have their project scored so they can be eligible to purchase a Junior Fair pass. At judging, members will be interviewed by a judge who will look at the project and ask questions about things the member has learned. The judge will score the project as Superior, Excellent, or Good. State Fair Qualifiers and Alternates and Award Winners will be selected from members attending Judging Day, not from those attending make-up judging. Posters for judging should be no larger than a ½ sheet of poster board. The time that your project will be judged is included in this July 4-H Express Newsletter.

*Make-up Judging* To attend Make-up Judging members must submit a written letter of request explaining why make-up judging is needed. All letters

are due Wednesday, July 5 to the Extension Office. The 4-H Committee will review letters for approval or disapproval.

*State Fair Qualification*Projects in your 4-H Member Handbook marked with an asterisk(*) are eligible to go to the state fair. If a project is eligible for State Fair, qualifiers and alternates will be selected from 4-H members receiving “Superior” ratings. State Fair qualifiers and alternates will be chosen from members attending Special Interest Project Judging Day, not from those attending make-up judging.

*Project Awards*For each Special Interest Project judged on Tuesday, July 11 at the Coulson Building, a maximum of two awards may be given: Outstanding of the Day and Honorable Mention. Outstanding of the Day winners will be selected from projects receiving a “Superior” rating. Award winners will be recognized with rosettes.

4-H members must participate in Animal Project Judging or make-up judging to be eligible to exhibit an animal at the Monroe County Fair and to purchase a Junior Fair Pass. The schedule for project judging is printed in the July 4-H Express Newsletter.

*What Do I Take?*

1. Completed project record book - signed by your advisor!!!

*Skillathons*Specific skillathon activities are listed on the following pages and you can download study sheets from the website at

www.monroe.osu.edu. If you do not have internet access, you can also pick up skillathon study sheets at the Extension Office prior to judging day.

*Interview*After you have completed the skillathon, you will be interviewed by a judge who will ask questions relating to your project. Possible topics for questions include: Nutrition & Feeding, General Knowledge, Management & Health, Selection, Showing & Fitting, and Record Keeping. During the interview, your project book will be reviewed for completion of learning activities, required records and questions. Your book will be returned to you before you leave.

*Scoring*Your total project score will be calculated from the following: skillathon (25 points), interview (50 points), project book (15 points), and appropriate dress/appearance (10 points). This combined score will determine the overall rating of Superior (90-100 points), Excellent (80-89 points), or Good (79 points or below). Receiving a judging score of 64 points or less will cause the project to be scored as Incomplete. Members who receive a score of Incomplete will be required to correct their issues and come to Make-up Judging (or another judging appointment) in order to receive a passing score. Members who do not come to the second judging or receive a passing score will not be eligible to exhibit at the fair or receive a fair pass.

*Project Awards* Skillathon Award- Each 4-H member who receives a perfect score on their skillathon activities will receive a Skillathon Award and will be recognized with a rosette. Outstanding Project Knowledge Award- Any member who receives a perfect overall judging score will receive an Outstanding Project Knowledge Award and will be recognized with a plaque during the Monroe County Fair. If no member in a particular species receives a perfect score, the member with the highest score in that project will receive the Outstanding Project Knowledge Award.

*Make-up Judging*To attend Make-up Judging, members must submit a written letter of request explaining why make-up judging is needed. All letters are due by Wednesday, July 5 to the Extension Office. The 4-H Committee will review letters for approval or disapproval. Members attending make-up judging will be required to bring their completed project book, complete paper/pencil skillathon activities, and be interviewed by a member of the 4-H Committee.
