• 4-H’er driven• it’s what the 4-H’er likes to & wants to do
• Goal setting• today, next week, next month
• Build on interests• Pick a project not a presentation
• Quality, Quantity & Variety• Set apart from everyone else
• Process vs Activity• Not just stuff to do
• Portfolios are a reporting tool • not the end result of the work
