Discuss the below:
Choose three (3) children of different ages from your program's toddler group between the ages of 13 and 35 months. Observe each of these children for at least 30 minutes per child using the four developmental categories-physical, cognitive, social and emotional, and language. Use the chart at the end of this assignment to record two to four observations under each category for each child. To maintain confidentiality, identify the children by age only.
Part 1: Narrative Summary
Summarize your observations in narrative form for each child per each developmental category.
Plan and Conduct a Lesson or Activity
Using what you've learned from your observations, plan and conduct a lesson or activity for the children. You can do this activity with just the three children you observed or a larger group. Just be sure that the three original children you observed are part of the group. This lesson or activity should focus on at least one of the developmental stages.
Part 2: Narrative Description Evaluation of Lesson or activity
The following issues should be covered in this section:
• What factors did you need to consider when developing this lesson?
• Describe how this lesson or activity went. Did it meet your expectations? Why or why not?
• How did the children react? (If you conducted the lesson or activity with a larger group, be sure to describe the reaction of the entire group as well as the three children you originally observed.)
• Do you need to make any changes to your lesson or activity? If so, describe these changes.
Include an Observation Chart for each child 1, 2 and 3
