Physical development, especially in infancy and toddlerhood but also into middle/late childhood, is primarily focused on the development of fine and gross motor skills. But the milestones and activities for each age group are very different. For example, coloring or playing with clay would not be an appropriate activity for an infant to improve fine motor skills, but it would be for the early childhood room. And in middle/late childhood, children are developing the muscle mass to greatly improve their abilities to run and jump and play organized games that would be not be appropriate for infants or toddlers. There are lots of website aimed at both parents and educators that describe activities to promote development. The activities you select do not have to be complex, but they do need to be age appropriate and grounded developmental theory. Focus on the primary developmental tasks of each age period. For each of the three activities, write a paragraph that addressed the following:

• Describe the activity in some detail (provide more than just the name of the activity).
• Describe the theory and/or research which supports the use of this class or activity.
• Identify how the activity enhances physical development. (Note it might also promote cognitive, and/or socioemotional development as well. For example, organized team-based games not only promote physical development in middle/late childhood but also promote psychosocial development by teaching team work and fair play.)
• Remember that this will be completed for an Infant Room, a Toddler Room, and a Middle/Late Childhood Room.

Written Assignment: Text Comparisons:

Comparing and contrasting literature works is one common strategy in K-12 ELA education. Identifying and describing the similarities and differences between literary works ensures that the students are not only understanding each work, but are also reflecting on them and thinking critically about them. Being able to explain how two works fit together, as well as how they don’t, means that students understand the main point of each, and have absorbed enough of the content to go beyond summarizing what they have read.

Graphic Organizer

For this assignment, begin by reviewing Janet Allen’s Compare/Contrast: Discovering Patternssheet in her tools for Teaching Content Literacy. Then review the Text-to-Text graphic organizer in the appendix of the Flip Chart 1b. Identify two texts that you would like to teach in your future ELA classroom. Complete the chart to reflect these text comparisons.

Rationale

Once you have completed the chart, develop a rationale of at least one page that explains why you chose the two texts that you did. In addition, explain how your students will benefit from comparing and contrasting these texts.

Remember to appropriately cite all sources used.
