       The three biggest 3 principles to me are practice principle, committed learning principle, and discovery principle. I like these because they will help you learn more by experimenting and trying stuff for yourself, which would help them retain more than if you just tell them you want them to know. Repetition or practice is the biggest way you learn anything is by doing over and over until it’s programmed in your brain.  The three I chose are discovery based which you give them like an outline and they students have to work to find a huge of information by doing extensive research on their own. The three I choose are supposed to be more fun and interesting than the other topics because there more like self paced.

       I would simulate a livestock show. The students would be able to manipulate how each animal places by their confirmation and how well the exhibitor shows them to the judges. I would also be able to simulate how each animal grow out from the day they buy it until the day the sell it. They would be able to manipulate what animals they cull and which ones they keep by each individual’s performance on feeds, and growing rates. Each of these items listed are important parts of picking good animals to show. All of these items I listed are important part of good livestock management procedures. That’s what showing is all about bettering the breed not keeping it the same or making it worse.  

     In conclusion as being a future agriculture teacher it is important for me to help each of students learn everything possible about agriculture. I have to find the best way to reach each of student s so everyone learns, and i also feel that hands approach is the best way to do that. Without being able to adapt to teaching styles you won’t be very effective.  I feel like repetition and practice will go a long way to helping each student succeed in the goals in life.
