Hi Guys!
The website looks so great! I have been looking through it and making little tweaks, and I think it is so close to going live!
One thing that I want to see worked on more is the gallery! I think that it is off to a great start but I want to make it more organized.
I would love to see a link to different types of pictures such as
Wedding Work
Holidays
Monthly Booms
Special Events

or something like that...and then lots of pictures within each category! Maybe even grouping things together within like pics from the same wedding together, pics from different holidays together, etc. You could each pick a different area to work on - there are a ton of pics that I have shared with you in the google album.
Also I think it would be super awesome to have a gallery section in the "About Us" page that has pictures of students working!

To submit - just add a comment or slide or doc or whatever you want to do about what section/pictures you worked on by the end of the week :)

We have a very important fundraiser! We have 100 poinsettias reserved to sell this year. We have not been able to do floral orders for events and subscriptions like we normally do so far in 2020. That means that selling poinsettias is very important! There are 56 of you (plus other FFA members, and myself sharing the information with family, friends, and the community) and 100 plants - that means we should be able to sell out easily!

Orders are open now-11/20!

Plants will be ready for pick up starting 12/4

Today's assignment is to post an advertisement! There are 2 posts so far on our FFA Instagram and Facebook Page. You can create a post sharing/reposting them on your own social media pages/stories. Or you can create your own advertisement as well! If you do not have social media - then you can send advertisements to people you know via email, or even print advertisements and post them in the community or give to neighbors, friends, family.

To earn credit for the assignment: submit a screenshot of your social media ads or emails from your sent box, or pictures of your hard copy ad being posted/handed out.

The link for someone to order poinsettias is: bitly.com/lhspoinsettias

Our Facebook is Madera-Liberty FFA
Our Instagram is @madera_libertyffa
Our hashtags are #lhsfloraldesign and #greenandgoldfloralshop

I have also attached the link as well as the advertisements made by the Adv Floral students last week.

Open your ID Notebook, select the slides that contain your title page and slides with ID 31-55 (you can click the title slide, then holt Ctrl and click slide with #31, hold down Ctrl and Shift and A and click #55 and it should highlight all the slides in between or you can hold down CTRL and select each slide individually until they are all highlighted) click File, click Make A Copy - click Selected Slides, then add "31-55" to the beginning of the name of your slide deck so it will be called "31-55 Copy of Floral ID Student Notebook - First Name Last Name"

Attach and submit your 31-55 Copy

Your IDs are worth 3 points each, 2 points for the appropriate information and 1 point for including 3 pictures. That means this Notebook Check is worth 75 points

Complete on Google Form - Copy/paste answers from the list at the top :)

Create a flyer advertisement (in google docs or slides or Canva or?? ) that we can use to start posting on social media, parent square, emails, etc to advertise our poinsettia sales! $14 each this year, 100 poinsettias available, they are red and will have a foil wrap around the pot. This is an important fundraiser this year for us since we have not been able to have the orders and subscriptions like we normally would have. I also put below the link to also included on the flyer so that people can submit their orders.

http://bit.ly/lhspoinsettias

This will give us 4 different versions to use and promote with! :)

This is the hard one, I know! Practice practice practice and make an awesome video to help the intro kids!

Hello!
Attached is a form that I have animals in my classroom...being prepared for when/if we get to come back to school! :)

If you have no animal allergies, you don't need to have the paper signed, just submit with a comment of "no allergies". If you do, please submit the form completed.

Thanks so much! Free 10 points!

Same as before but with the Simple Tailored Bow/Shoestring Bow

Just like the others, make a demo video for making the wire loop video. I know you probably only have half wires and not whole ones, that is ok, it just won't be as big of a bow. Give steps, and give tips, and all that good stuff! :)

The slide decks for all of the bows are attached as a materials post.

This first video will be of the top bow or flag bow.

Practice first :)
Especially practice getting your wire tight when securing your bow. You can use plain wire, or you can use wire that has already been taped from previous videos. Show taping over the bottom of the bow/the wrapped wire as well so that they can see a finished product! You can also have "bloopers" of not so good bows...maybe the shiny side is in instead of out, or maybe the loops are the same size instead of staggered, or maybe one loop or tail flag is giant and the other loop is tiny, etc.

Due end of tomorrow so that Intro can use them next week!

Create a video showing how to tape floral wire. Start with a ticker wire, and then move to the thinner. Show how we will be taping only half wires at a time (and to use the wire cutting notch on the shears to cut the wire)
Show how when done well and tight, if you twist the opposite direction, the tape does not come loose. Could even be really cool to make some "not good" wire taping examples! - loose, super overlapped so that its bunchy, wrinkly, etc!

If you create your video in chunks (which is totally ok) put them into a slide deck so that they are all together in 1 file to share with the intro class. Or if you are crafty, use a video program to mash the clips together into 1 video file.

Due end of tomorrow so that it can be shared with intro at later this week!

The flower pen videos that I have seen so far were great! They are getting shared today with Intro :)

You are each going to create multiple short videos demonstrating and explaining some basic floral skills. These videos are to refresh your own skills as well as to help teach and give tips to the intro class students.

Your first video should include talking about how floral tape works -that it needs to be stretched and that it will stick to itself but not really to other things. That you leave the tape on the roll until you are finished instead of ripping off a piece to use. That the goals are to keep the tape tight, and smooth, and be efficient with your overlaps so you don’t use more tape than needed. Etc. include why we use tape - covering wires, covering mechanics, creating boutonnières, holding bouquets, adding bows, etc.
you are going to demonstrate on a large item first, such as a pen or pencil. (You may have to practice yourself first since it has been a while!) Show taping at least 2 layers in your video on the pen/pencil and then a 3rd layer to attach a flower or stem of some sort to create a flower pen/pencil. Be sure to narrate as you go, explaining how you hold your hands and use your fingers to make the tape smooth, tight, just the right angles and overlap, etc. Each of your perspectives will be a little different and that is the best part because it will help others to have multiple ways to learn! If you mess up and tape rips or doesn’t look like a great layer, that’s ok, show that too - it’s great for learning, and then show why you don’t like the way it turned out and fixing it. Totally useful!

It does not have to be all one take, you can crop and edit and combine clips and parts to create your tutorial video. If you want to have written explanations or tips or descriptions or sites along with your video you can add captions or you can insert your videos into slides. Be as creative as you want, and use any platform/application that you are familiar with :)

Hi gals!
I was looking at the website so far today! You guys are doing awesome!

Things to work on/consider/continue:

The order of the page tabs at the top...I think that About Us should be close to Home, and Payment Options maybe pushed down towards the end.
Social Media - add in links and images
Gallery - I have added more pics to the google album, and have about a semester worth to add still. I am thinking instead of individual pictures randomly (btw I like the little descriptions/titles of them) create a page for each "type" like monthly arrangements, weddings, other event centerpieces, corsages & boutonnieres, etc and then they are more organized and easy for people to look at specific types of work we have done. Also I think add in pics of classes/students working - so that it is seen that it is a student program and you guys do create these awesome arrangements.
Payment page - maybe have a blurb/sentences like at the green and gold floral shop we take payment in the following forms: ...blah blah blah.... about how payments can be made in the LHS office, or mailed in, etc - Just try to make this page and all the pages more personable and warm if that makes sense :)
Same with the services page - I like it so far and all the forms so far have been making good progress - Hannah I sent you some emails on them for the ones I have seen so far.
Add in the wedding brainstorm google doc somewhere too so brides can be thinking of what all to think of
Contact us page - like the others, just add some personable-ness (totally made that word up right now)
Warm, Inviting, Personable along with Professional

I realllllllly like it so far!!!!!!!!!!!

See next items on list to continue once you feel happy with the items from last weeks list (if you are still working on the previous stuff - that is ok! keep going wherever you have left off!)

On Friday upload/submit your progress pics/summary

Directions for part 1 attached

Upload and submit your doc with your weekly summary/update here Friday

Open your ID Notebook, select the slides that contain your title page and slides with ID 1-30 (you can click the first slide and then scroll down to the slide that ID#30 is on, hold down Ctrl and Shift and A and it will select all the slides that you should have completed between the title and #30, or you can hold down CTRL and select each slide individually until they are all highlighted) click File, click Make A Copy - click Selected Slides, then add "1-30" to the beginning of the name of your slide deck so it will be called "1-30 Copy of Floral ID Student Notebook - First Name Last Name"

Attach and submit your 1-30 Copy

Your IDs are worth 3 points each, 2 points for the appropriate information and 1 point for including 3 pictures. That means this Notebook Check is worth 90 points.

READ THE DIRECTIONS ON THE QUIZ :)

The attached doc has a variety of resources, links, videos, etc that each have tasks associated with them about ag and the floral industry within CA. You have today-Wednesday to work on this. You will also update your CA FFA Roster with Ms. Bowe at some point this week when it is your turn. This assignment is due Thursday. You will have an ID Kahoot with all of 4th period on Thursday in class and then your ID quiz and notebook check on Friday for #1-30.

Each box of this worksheet is 5 pts = 60pts total

One box has Napa County info...I am trying to get Madera/Fresno County impact sheet and I will post it if I am able to. Otherwise, use the Napa info.

Log in to MindTap and go to Section 1, Unit 1, then to the Quiz. There is a practice quiz you can take as many times as you want. The actual quiz is below it. You need to submit a screenshot of your score from your 1st take. *See How To Video in Class Resources for how to do this*

Use the text in MindTap (there is a video in Class Resources for help on how to navigate and I wrote some information to help navigate as well) to answer the questions on the worksheet. Put your answers in a different color or highlighted so that it is easy to see.

Follow the directions to create your account for Cengage/MindTap Floral EBook as well as for iCEV.

iCEV you should be able to use your username and password from last year without registering, just logging in, but then adding the course for this year with the code on the PDF. 3 of you need to still do your certification test that did not get finished last year. Daphnie you passed yours last spring. But it is going to be formatted differently from last year. You will just have to do the unit assessments not all the notes and vocab sheets. My plan is to set days throughout the year that you will all work together to work through the tests in your breakout rooms/in class when we get to be in person again :)

Submit a screenshot showing that you are registered and in the class for both systems. That means you are submitting 2 screenshots! (Except Daphnie you just need to submit 1, and put in the comment that you only need 1 so that it reminds me when it is graded)

Attached is the directions for a brochure as well as the rubric of all the points available for each section of info you need to include. Use the info you collected from the company you chose, the interview question info, materials collected, etc to create a brochure all about the company and careers available within that company.
You have today to work, as well as Monday to work in class. If you have delays in contacting/gathering information, you can work on Tuesday as well, but it needs to be submitted complete on Tuesday. In Class on Tuesday you are going to share your brochures with your classmates and talk about the businesses that you each chose and showcased.
I challenge you to really learn about a company and the types of jobs/careers available. Experience needed, work conditions/hours/schedules, general hourly or salary pay, you can even find out about what goes in to creating and building a business!

You can create your brochure in Slides (can format the page set up to be regular paper size...go to file, page set up, and can make it 11X8.5") can use Docs, can use Canva, can use whatever other cool things you may know!

You will find a floral or horticulture business that you are interested in learning more about. It can be from any sector of the industry, nursery/growers, floral markets, wholesalers, retailers, suppliers, etc. It does not have to be a local company either. It can be, or it can be a "local company" in another town, or it can be a large company that is all over, it can even be an online order service as long as you can contact them and a person to be able to interview about the company.

Attached is a doc with some starter interview questions, info on writing more questions, and some items you will need to collect from your business.

Submit the doc with the name, location, contact info for the company you are choosing (you can list multiple companies as well just in case if you want) and add in the rest of your interview questions accordingly so that you have at least 10. You may want to have some thoughts on potential extra questions based on answers you may get as well.

This is due tomorrow (Thursday) and then Thursday you will want to start contacting your company or companies to get the info you need. You will be able to work on this in class.

Friday you will get the rest of the directions for the brochure you are going to create with the info you collect. You will also have Monday to work as well. On Tuesday the final project will be due and you will present your companies to your classmates.

I challenge you to really learn about a company and the types of jobs/careers available. Experience needed, work conditions/hours/schedules, general hourly or salary pay, you can even find out about what goes in to creating and building a business!
