I’m working on a writing case study and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
Learning Objective: Student will develop one activity (lesson) plan for children ages 3 to 8; with an emphasis on the content areas of math and science.
Guidelines:
- Select a theme/topic from the list provided by the instructor. Research and get familiar with the topic.
- Use the KWL chart to write what I know, what I found out, what I learned about the topic.
- Brainstorm (using a curricular web) DAP activities that would connect to the content areas of language/literacy, math, nutrition/cooking, science and social studies. Refer to chapter 3 for the web information/handouts.
- Determine the age group (children age range 3 to 8 years) that you will focus on for the activity plan. The activity will be a combination of math and science, DAP, hands-on and/or active learning. The activity needs to be aligned to the selected topic, the Preschool Learning Foundations for children ages 3 to 5 years or the California State Content Standards and/or the Common Core Standards for Kindergarten to Third grade.
- Refer to activity plan sample and handouts in chapter 3.
- Be mindful of the objective development and structure for each activity for the curriculum web and the activity plan. Refer to Bloom’s Taxonomy. Use active verbs (handouts).
- Strongly reflect on the connection to theory section of the activity plan. Align the activity to the theories of development. Refer to chapter 1.
