Lesson Two (25pts): With permission from parents, school personnel,
day care, or any other facility observe pre-school or children at play.
In a one-page report, report your findings. Include the stages
of play with description of activity and approximate ages. Relate your
observed data to the information in the textbook.
Lesson Four (30 pts): Objective: To develop skills in testing
selected perceptual characteristics among young children.
Arrange permission at a local early childhood facility (or with an individual
parent) to conduct a series of simple perceptual tests on a child 4
to 6 years of age. Develop a checklist evaluation form that includes
items from the following list. After the data has been collected, use
the information to make judgments of the child's performance based on what
you have learned in class and textbook reading. In a two-page
report, summarize your findings. Use the textbook to landmark your
child with age appropriate readiness. Are they on target or above/below?
Include suggestions as a future educator for intervention to bring child
to target. You will submit your checklist with your written summary.
Evaluation list provided within the course:
Lesson Five (25 pts): Observe a child, any age, either walking, running,
striking, or throwing. Gather information about the child such as age
and grade. Using the textbook, compare the locomotor skill of the child
you observed to the book. Denote if the child is age appropriate for
the activity. Are the stages/phases all present? How will you
intervene to progress the child to the appropriate stage/phase for their age?
Is the child on target and how will you help the child advance to the next
age appropriate state? This should be a one-page report.
