Child Development Lesson Plan, psychology homework help

You are to write a lesson plan for children the ages of 2-4. I will be sending you the chapter associated to this assignment. I have attached the guidelines for you to follow and the headings for you to use when completing this assignment. I have gathered some ideas you could use for the lesson plan. You don’t have to use it, but if you don’t be creative.

Lesson Plan Components 

Procedures:

The beginning of the procedures includes:

An opening statement:

What will you do first?  Use the words you will use with the children to introduce the activity (do not list steps; use the language you will use to guide or scaffold children)–the key is anticipation; how will you set the stage and get the attention of the children?  Your statement can include discussing the props, items and/or materials in front of them. Ex: in a hand washing activity you could show dirty hands and ask the children what she we do about it? (remember that you can NOT do a Hand Washing activity for your lesson plan. Pick something else.

The middle of the procedures includes:

List all the steps involved in presenting the activity including open ended questions throughout the activity (include the two you listed in the Teacher Interaction component of the lesson plan), and the vocabulary words you listed in the Vocabulary Words component. List the steps as if you are explaining to someone how to do this activity.

1. 

2. 

3. 

4. You will have more than four steps..

The last part of the procedure will include a closing statement and will consist of the following (continue numbering from above):

·  A summary or recap of what has been discovered, experienced, enjoyed and so on.

·  Clean up instructions for children.

·  End of activity warning.

·  End of activity statement.

·  Transition/closing statement.

Keep the experiences in the “here and now”.  Children do not make the connection between what they do now and what will happen in the future; i.e. the statement “you have to brush your teeth so you will not get cavities when you get older” doesn’t really matter to a preschool age child. 

There is an example of Procedures in this week’s Modules for your review.

Teacher Language Interaction:

List two open-ended statements/divergent questions you might ask children.

Ask questions that will involve children in their learning process; ask questions that will help them connect the topic (activity) to their own experiences.  If you are simply asking children to name objects or if you can answer it with a yes or no then you should think of a different question(s) to ask.Review the attachment in Modules on “Open-ended questions” for more ideas.

Vocabulary Words:

List new and/or unique words you will introduce to the child that relate to this activity. 

Include a written child definition for each word.  Remember when presenting your activity you must introduce and discuss the word(s) with the children in a developmentally appropriate manner. The vocabulary words should be included in the procedure section the way you will say them to the children.

Materials:

List all materials needed to set up this activity and number each one.
