I’m working on a social science discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
Introduction
In this module, you have learned that group/circle time offers a time of day when children develop understandings about themselves as group members. They enjoy language together by using familiar songs, favorite fingerplays, changes, and a wide variety of activities. Children gain self-confidence, feelings of personal worth, and group spirit. Group times are often conducted as both instructional and “sharing Times” within programs that are designed for an abundance of child-selected and child-initiated activities.
The Prompt
Respond to the following discussion question(s) for this module:
Task: Imagine yourself as a teacher conducting a morning circle time to start the school day and announce the daily happenings and activities. Answer the following questions using a few sentences to a paragraph:
- What goals do you have for the children attending your circle?
- How do you hope children will feel having participated?
- What are you going to do to make that happen?
- How will you assess whether the group time was successful?
- What are the pitfalls you might face?
- What will you consider concerning the location of your circle? For a top score, you must respond constructively to at least two students.
