Your project may focus on any time period from the Egyptians to the Space Age. Your character may be based upon documented historical people from any continent. Members should be aware that primary documents and research are generally easier to find for American-based characters, events, and heritage skills. This 4-H member record book is intended to help 4-H living history members document their growth, development, and progress. Using these record-keeping tools to chart a progression of educational activities organized and conducted by one or more trained 4-H shooting sports instructors helps you to achieve the following goals of the 4-H shooting sports program: • To encourage participation in natural resources management and related natural science programs through living history, shooting, hunting, and related activities. • To enhance the development of self-concept, character, and personal growth through safe, educational, and socially acceptable involvement in living history and shooting activities. • To teach concepts that include sound decision-making skills, self-discipline, and concentration. • To teach skills that allow members to research and develop a living history persona and the skills that character might have used 2020 in daily living. • To promote the highest standards of safety, sportsmanship, and ethical behavior. • To expose youth to the broad array of vocational and life-long avocational activities related to the shooting sports and living history. SUMMER • To strengthen families through participation in life-long recreational activities. • To complement and enhance the impact of existing safety, shooting, and hunter education programs using experiential educational methods and progressive development of skills and abilities. • To develop integrity, sportsmanship, cooperation, decision-making ability, and public speaking skills in youth through participation in structured, informal learning experiences, including demonstrations, visual presentations, tours, shooting events, community service activities, and exhibits. A Living History project does not require shooting. Youth using firearms or bows as part of a portrayal should complete the shooting sports instruction designed to teach safe use of their equipment. 4-H Living History Member Record Book 1 General Project Guidelines Work under the direct supervision of a certified 4-H living history instructor. • Attend and be active in meetings of your 4-H living history club, 4-H shooting sports club, or other 4-H club (page 4). • Plan to take part in at least two Learning Experiences (page 5). • Be involved in at least two Service Learning and Leadership activities (page 6). • Complete The First Step of Your Journey: A Pilgrim’s Survey (page 7). • Identify your living history goals and objectives for the year (pages 10–11). • Develop a historical persona based on the research you conduct (pages 12–22). • Complete a timeline about your historical character (pages 20–21). • Write a report on a living history-related topic of interest to you (page 23). • Record purchases of clothing, accessories, and raw materials used (page 24). • Evaluate how well you did in achieving your goals for the year (page 28). 2020 The Oregon Trail 1842-43 The The Old Northwest Mountainman Territory SUMMER 1830s "The Ohio Country" 1790s The Land Rush 1854 Colonial The Gold Rush America 1848 D.Boone 1620 1770s The U.S. Cavalry & the The Old Southwest Indian Wars Territory 1836 1780s The Texas Fight for Independence 1830s Spanish America 1565 2 4-H Living History Member Record Book Living History Through Time & Around the World 1.
