This assignment will be submitted to Turnitin™.
To reinforce your learning from Child Growth & Development OER Chapters 10-12 you will:
Create a lesson plan for elementary school-age children (in Middle Childhood) related to the book, The Giving Tree. Your plan should have two sections:
1) Details of your lesson plan including Goal/Objectives, Activities, Age or Grade level, Materials needed, Curriculum subject(s) covered (e.g., English, Science) and
2) A brief discussion of how your plan relates to children’s development at this stage—why is your plan appropriate for their level of social, emotional, and/or cognitive development? How does your plan enhance development in any or all of these areas?
The Giving Tree website contains examples of lesson plans (others are available for purchase but certainly not necessary). >> http://www.uniqueteachingresources.com/Giving-Tree-Lesson-Plans.htmlhttp://www.uniqueteachingresources.com/Giving-Tree-Lesson-Plans.htmlhttp://www.uniqueteachingresources.com/Giving-Tree-Lesson-Plans.html
Please complete the readings first and infer what children entering middle childhood are like:
What do they know and understand about themselves and their development?
What can we learn from both research and theory about this age group?
For this creative project keep in mind that a simple, yet descriptive lesson plan is the goal.
