Prior to beginning work on this assignment, review Chapters 5, 7, 8, 11, and 12, which are the primary chapters in the textbook and provide you with the theoretical foundations for this project. Many of the other resources in the previous weeks may also be helpful.

Remember that you have already created nine of the required 15 activities for this assignment in Weeks 2, 3, and 4. You received feedback from your instructor and from the Writing Center on those activity papers. You are expected to incorporate that feedback into the nine activities already created. During this last week, you will place those activities in the appropriate room in your proposal and create the remaining six activities.

Focus of the Final Project:

Your community is planning to open a brand-new child development community center. Now that you are an expert in the field, you have been chosen to create a proposal for interactive, fun, and educational programming activities that will be provided for children and adolescents in this center. The chosen activities must be developmentally appropriate and based in theory. You will present your ideas to the city council with a written proposal describing the programming in detail. You have been asked to propose programming for the following five different age groups in the child development community center:

• Infant (0-1 year)
• Toddler (1-3 years)
• Early Childhood (3-6 years)
• Middle to Late Childhood (7-12 years)
• Adolescence (13-18 years)

Use this

to organize your proposal. Enter the requested information on the title page where indicated. Where you find the text, In this section you will describe the activity … within the proposal template, please remove that and enter your own content. The headings in bold should not be altered. The final content for each room will consist of three paragraphs that will address three distinct activities that address physical, cognitive, and psychosocial development for that age group. Table 5.1 in your textbook will be very useful in identifying the major milestones in physical development.

In your Community Child Proposal,

• Describe the activity in some detail (provide more than just the name of the activity).
• Identify the specific domain related theory concept that supports the use of this activity.
• Identify how the activity enhances physical, cognitive, or psychosocial development.

Special Notes:

A good way to brainstorm different age appropriate activities is using Googles search tool before researching. Please review

. For example, enter activities to support cognitive development in toddlers and numerous sites with suggested activities will be displayed. Remember that your activities may be simple (especially with newborns), but they must also be specific and age appropriate, and you are to connect them to developmental theory within the proposal. You must also cite the sources in your proposal.

While much of the theoretical support for your proposal will come from the textbook, you must include information somewhere in the proposal from three credible or scholarly sources. If you included a source in your Weeks 2, 3, and 4 papers, then you have already met this requirement. Just transfer the source to the final proposal. Remember to cite all your sources (including the textbook) according to APA.

First, be sure to read ALL OF THE DIRECTIONS carefully.

It is required that you add the following elements. Remember to use the template that is in the assignment directions. Click where it says template and you will be able to download it to use with your assignment.

REQUIRED:

1. The paper is to be 9 full pages and written like an essay.

2. Include a formal introduction that addresses the Town Council and explains that you are proposing 5 Community Center rooms (more on that in a moment). The purpose of the Community Center is to provide age appropriate/developmental activities for infants, children, and adolescents (teenagers). Explain that the theories support the activities

3. The rooms are listed in the assignment and note that you now are adding a Toddler (1-3 years) room and a Middle to Late Childhood room (7-12 years). I helped you by extending infant to (0-2) and early childhood from (3-5) so that you would already be familiar with the age groups and milestones.

4. For each room, you are to propose ONE physical development activity based specifically on a physical milestone (Table 5.1 in our text), ONE cognitive development activity based on a specific cognitive theory (use Piaget which is easiest to match to ages), and ONE psychosocial development activity (base it on Erikson’s theory as they are age based). BOTH the theory and the activity need to be added for each.

5. A conclusion that addresses that Town Council and explains how the addition of the rooms will help with the overall development of the youth in town.

6. REVISE using my comments, your information for the physical, cognitive, and psychosocial portions and add those to your final paper. The introduction, toddler, middle childhood, and conclusion sections will be new material. If you do not revise your other rooms using my comments, the final grade will not be as good as if you do read/use my comments.

Please note the 9 pages does not include cover or reference page!

Please note this assignment is my final and CAN NOT be late!

This week, you are to watch ‘Skeleton Twins’. ‘Skeleton Twins, is an off-kilter sense of humor, as well as a pervasive feeling of loneliness and regret, provides a more complex and far more human vibe.

The movie came out in 2014 and stars Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader; Maggie and Milo, twins who live across the country from each other and havent spoken in a decade. She stayed in their hometown of Nyack, N.Y., got married and became a dental hygienist; he moved to Los Angeles with dreams of becoming an actor but instead works as a waiter. Their father committed suicide when they were 14. Their mother is a selfish self-help guru.

I think you’ll find this film intriguing in a variety of ways. I’ve be posted a PPT to help you explore specific aspects of the film this week.

Questions to answer

Maggie & Milo are fraternal twins of the opposite sex so that means they’d come from separate ovum and have separate amniotic sacs. What if Milo wasn’t supposed to be able to untie Maggie from the weights? Would this be a reflection of how they started?

How would you diagnose Maggie? Milo? What shocked you with the film and its presentation?

In their respective costumes that they choose for themselves, are Maggie and Milo expressing some hidden part of themselves, a wish, or a fantasy of some sort? Do the costumes represent an exaggerated version of themselves or the opposite of how they appear to others?

ASSIGNMENT #1 Essay (Fruitville & Autism readings) instructions from the professor: View the posted video – View Video : Autism Program @ Fruitville Elementary School/Sarasota Schools Education Channel (13:30) Program at Fruitville Elementary School/ Sarasota Schools Education Channel and read the assigned materials: Chapter 5 (i tried to upload chapter 5 under this link ) the book is Disability Studies and the Inclusive Classroom by Susan Baglieri Read Autism Speaks Handout. Once you get to the website Click on the Banner What is Autism? and read each one of the fact sheets. Learn the signs, Symptoms of Autism, What Causes Autism, Asperger Syndrome and Autism Statistics and Facts (In your essay you may also refer to any other chapters already assigned in the text.) In an approximately 2 page essay, (12 pt. print & double-spaced) discuss the techniques used at the school to address the needs of the children with autism. Explain the benefits as mentioned in at least two of the techniques used at the school. Describe the climate of the school community and the mindset of the stakeholders. Explain how what is happening at Fruitville is related to what you have read about in the chapters in the textbook and any other course material including the Autism Speak handout assigned up to and including week 3. I will be looking for citations from the video and the readings. At least THREE citations – TWO from the ebook reading and at least one from the video.”The Autism Speaks” Handout can also be used for additional citations. You, of course can and should use additional citations rom these sources mentioned to improve the quality of your assignment and to cite work that is not your own. If you don’t use citations within the body of the essay your grade will be impacted significantly. And don’t use sources other than the ones mentioned. Remember, avoid phrases such as I loved the school or it’s the greatest. Your opinion is valuable. Include your opinion in the closing paragraph. As a future teacher indicate if you think there is value in some of the techniques or other things happening at Fruitville. If you are a paraprofessional in a school, a future nurse (This one is for me, Im a future nurse) or plan to work in mental health or work with children who are autistic in any capacity, or know someone who has autism you can write about your experience and how what is mentioned in the video or readings apply to your intended profession or your personal life. You can also write about whether you think there is value to society (be specific) about what is being done at Fruitville or if it is a waste of taxpayer dollars. Opinions supported by citations have a greater impact. Remember this is not a question and answer assignment. It is an essay – integrating material from all of the sources mentioned above. A strong paper will include citations in the body of the essay. When you use quotes, or paraphrase from the video and text use citations so that you are not plagiarizing.
