Use the example below as a guideline. NARRATION You must write a paragraph for a narrator to read while you are modeling your outfit during the fashion revue. It is much easier for you to show your outfit to the best advantage while the narrator describes your garments and your work putting the outfit together and accessorizing it. Start by introducing yourself by name, age, and 4-H Club, and tell a little bit about your 4-H projects and experiences. Then describe your outfit. You may want to include the type of outfit, where you purchased it, what occasion(s) you will wear it for, and how it makes you feel. After you write your narrative, read it out loud a few times and think of how you will model your outfit along with the words. You may want to have a friend or family member read it while you practice. Remember, you want to tell the judge and the audience about your outfit in a way that helps them appreciate what they are seeing when you model. Be creative and have fun! EXAMPLE NARRATION: Eleven-year-old Janie Lane of the Go-Getters 4-H Club has been a Prince George s County 4-H member for four years. She is Treasurer of her club, and she is enrolled in the Healthy Living, Photography, and Crafts projects. Janie s favorite thing about being in 4-H is exhibiting her projects in the Prince George s County Fair every fall. Janie is ready to go back to school in her fun fall outfit. She is Happy and Hippy Chic in her colorful flowing top from Target and trendy jeans from Old Navy. Janie s dark-wash denim skinny jeans are a nice base for her orange, fuschia, teal, and brown paisley sheer peasant blouse, layered over a chocolate-brown tank top. Brown knee-high leather riding boots coordinate perfectly with her look. Janie had a ton of fun choosing funky accessories for her outfit. A large copper-and-turquoise pendant on a brown leather cord accents the gathered neckline of her flowy top, and matching copper peace sign earrings add a retro flair. The fuschia fabric poppy adorning her brown headband tops off her Flower Child look. Peace Out, Janie! TYPE OR NEATLY PRINT YOUR NARRATION ON A SEPARATE PIECE OF PAPER AND ATTACH IT TO THIS FORM. The judges will read it before judging your outfit, and it will be read as you model your outfit during the Fashion Revue show. Don t forget to keep a copy for yourself!
