Description
Because school-age children are harder to observe but easier to talk to, this observation will include an interview as well as time spent observing and interacting with one child age 7 to 10. Interviewing a child who does not meet the age requirements for the assignment is an automatic 0.
Use the information that you learned during your interview with the child, along with other information that you have from personal experience or from the child’s family to answer the questions below. Remember to give complete answers to the questions, include direct statements from the child (quotes), and to support your answers with information from the interview and references to the textbook material. Before beginning, review the example that was provided in this module as well as the grading rubric, and download the template.
A thorough observation which follows the template and includes complete answers to all questions will be at least 3 full pages.*
