Consider the sample classroom demographics as you work on your lesson plan: 
Grade Level: 3rd Grade
There are 16 girls and 11 boys in your classroom. 
Nine students receive free and reduced lunch. 
Thirteen students are white, 8 students are African-American, 5 students are Hispanic/Latino and 1 student is Asian. 
Six students are above grade level in reading and writing, 
15 are on grade level and 6 are below grade level. 
The Asian student has been in the United States for 8 months and he receives ESL support. 
One student has autism, he needs support with transitions and in social situations. 
One student has dyslexia, she receives extended time to complete assignments and has speech to text software on her computer. 
One student excels in reading and writing, she often completes her assignments early and she enjoys activities that involve critical thinking skills, such as debates. 
The classroom has an even mixture of visual, kinesthetic and auditory learners.
Design a learning experience for your students (see above for your sample classroom demographics) that addresses the standard thats selected. Keep in mind particularly planning for the diverse learning needs of your students, the importance of differentiation, and the multiple forms of assessment.

Last week, you developed the beginning framework for your thematic unit by completing the ECE Learning Activities Brainstorm. In that assignment, you used your state’s learning standards to locate a standard for different developmental areas. This was an important first step in creating a developmentally appropriate thematic unit that you will have fully developed by the end of this course. This week, you will take five of the standards you identified last week and develop them into stimulating learning activities.

This project requires you to do a one-hour observation of a child (ages 5-12) in a natural setting, and then write a 2-3-page report about your observations.
You should be as unobtrusive as possible and use a notebook to write down the activities, behaviors, and interactions that you are observing during that time.
HOW TO PROCEED
IDENTIFY A SUBJECT. If you have friends or relatives who have children whom you could observe, contact them. When setting a time to observe, keep in mind that you want the child to be awake, alert, and active. If you have children of your own you may use them as subjects, but keep in mind that this will only be effective if you can separate your observation from your normal mode of watching.
Observe and record the behaviors and interactions of the individuals you see. OBTAIN PERMISSION to observe a child from both the main care-giver and the child (if age-appropriate). Explain that the observation is a class assignment and the purpose is to acquaint you with the types of activities and interactions that children that age engage in, and to bring alive some of the material you have been studying.
ASSURE CONFIDENTIALITY. Explain that nobody will be identified by name or identifiable characteristics in your report.
PREPARATION. Before observing the child, review the assigned reading that describes the expected behaviors of a child the age of your subject. Focus on: language, cognition, social interaction, motor abilities, socialization, emotional development and gender roles. Your note taking will be much more productive if you have prepared.
OBSERVE and RECORD.
Give the child a pseudonym to preserve confidentiality. Note the following: date, time, setting, age, gender, distinguishing characteristics (dress, appearance, etc.).
Take notes on:
o the activities the child engages in, the objects used (and how)
o the quality and quantity of social interactions (Does the child initiate? Is the child seeking attention? If so, positive or negative? Is the child seeking play? Comfort? Assistance?)
o How about the interactions with other children? Is the child playing?
o Take notes on the content of language, motor development and coordination
o Write down, verbatim, some of the language interactions or vocalizations.
WRITING THE REPORT. Read your notes carefully and think about how to organize the information for your report.
Organize the top of your report as follows:
o Subject:
o Pseudonym
o Date:
o Age:
o Time:
o Gender:
o Setting:
In a brief paragraph, describe the general setting, the child’s presentation, the other people in the setting, etc. The major body of your paper will report your observations and interpretation of development you see taking place. Whenever possible, you should relate observations to what you have learned through module readings.
Do not simply describe or list what you observed. Interpret or explain what your observations illustrate about the child’s stage of development. This is the most important part of this assignment.
If you wish, you may end the report with a personal reaction to the experience.

Assigned class members will complete individual reviews of assigned course topics to be used in developing a presentation using PowerPoint, Canva or other presentation software. Students must begin with the content found in Chapters 14 and 15 Instructional PowerPoint ( Found in the Week V Module) and then complete additional internet research to develop a 7-slide presentation for the class. Required content: an Introduction to the topic, its Components, and How it has impacted Teaching and Learning Use the last slide of a presentation as a reminder. Provide a succinct recap of the most important information the audience needs to remember. Turn the obligatory “Any questions?” on its head and instead ask your listeners if they feel well-informed, that they have taken in everything you presented to them.
Final project draft presentations will be shared with the class during the final virtual meeting on 6/26.
