Problem: Creating Social Narratives
Mohammed is a five-year-old in your kindergarten room. He enjoys being with other children, but often has a difficult time sharing materials at his table. He does not like to wait his turn at the drinking fountain or the slide outside. He tends to push and yell at other children in the class when he wants to get to these two things in particular as they seem to be his favorite. You would like to see this behavior diminish by helping Mohammed learn about turn taking in the classroom and on the playground. You decide to write a social story to him that you can read to him individually and even to a small group.
• Part A: Write a Social Story based on the scenario that you can read to Mohammed. You will put this into a form of a story. You should add clip art or pictures.
• Part B: After the story, explain how doing this assignment can help you become a better educator. How does your knowledge of social narratives help you improve as a professional educator?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
