Daily Learning Contract
- Topic: Client Communication
- Objective: Students will identify an agricultural communication career opportunity by translating a fictional client brief into an accurate visual plan.

| Time | 50 minutes |
| TEKS | d(1)(C) |
| Sources | FYF pp. 91-92; Farm-to-Table Infographic Planner |
| Evidence | Four-step plan, two client facts, full-page sketch, two interview questions, and one role-to-task statement |
Before class
- Give each student FYF workbook pp. 91-92, the two-page planner printed double-sided, a pencil, and markers or colored pencils.
- Post the student-visible rubric digitally; default print count is 0.
- Project the supplied teacher-only four-step process wireframe in the Canvas Facilitator Guide. No design login is needed.
- Keep the plan individual. Use pairs of two only for the brief trace and reader-path rehearsal.
- State that Sunny Fields Farm is fictional. Workbook facts remain scenario details.
50-minute flow
| Time | Work |
|---|---|
| 5 | Warm-up: Put four likely food-journey stages in order |
| 8 | Read the fictional client brief: specialist role, audience, crop choices, requirements |
| 20 | Plan planting, growing/monitoring, harvesting/packing, and selling/delivery |
| 12 | Use the full-page box to sketch the reader path |
| 5 | Exit: trace where the reader looks first and next |
What the plan must show
- One listed crop
- Adult grocery shoppers as the audience
- Four accurate process steps
- One short explanation and one visual idea per step
- Two facts from the fictional client email and why a shopper would care
- A title and visible reading order
- Two questions for the fictional farm team
- One statement naming what an Agricultural Communications Specialist produces and who uses it
The custom planner intentionally adds only a roomy content plan and full-page sketch. Students write the two interview questions in the large boxes already printed on FYF p. 92. Do not print a duplicate page for work the workbook already supports.
Monitor, pivot, and trim
- Think-Pair-Share the brief trace, then Active Monitor the planner.
- By minute 13, every student should have marked the role, audience, crop choices, and required content. If students add outside facts, reset with: "Use only what the client supplied."
- By minute 30, all four stages and two client facts should be planned. If the reader path is unclear, point to the supplied wireframe and ask where the eye goes next.
- If time is short, cut the share-out or narrated rehearsal. Protect the four-step plan, two facts, full-page sketch, and two interview questions.
Supports and fallback
Provide the four-step word bank at the point of use and let students narrate the sketch before writing. Labels and phrases are enough. Drawing quality is not scored. A teacher or self-check can replace partner talk. The planner plus FYF p. 92 form the complete absence route.
