And although it is primarily for your personal use and benefit, it could be used as supportive material for reflection when preparing your 4-H record book or applying for project area awards. This publication will share some ideas for keeping a sewing journal.

Evaluating Record Keeping Systems
The purpose of 4-H record keeping is to teach how to keep records, which is an important life skill. In 4-H, using a record keeping system is a recommended practice for youth in grades 4-12 to track participation, goals, achievements, and reflections throughout their 4-H journey.

Record keeping systems are one way youth might be asked to show evidence of their learning, goal setting, reflection, and growth in project area learning, leadership, civic engagement, or communication to meet award criteria. This guide outlines the information that will help staff and volunteers prepare for the evaluation of record keeping systems for these purposes.

Yearly Member Summary -- Record Keeping
The yearly member summary is intended to serve as a personal reference of all the most important things you want to record to summarize your year. You do not need to list every event or activity in this summary —only the most meaningful or impactful achievements that you would like to highlight for this year.

The PDF resource is limited to two pages. Summarizing your achievements into a concise format to share with others is a valuable life skill. You will use your ability to summarize in the future when you apply for awards, college, or a job. For those who prefer to have more space to write, an MSWord document is also available.

The information in this form may be adapted or modified to use with other record keeping formats.

The editable PDF can be filled out online, saved, and then printed; or it can be printed and completed manually. The MSWord document can be downloaded for a more flexible typewritten layout. For more information visit our webpage on using 4-H forms and documents.
