CHCECE037 - Assessment Item 3 - Project

Post by En_chantress » Thu Nov 07, 2024 9:19 am

Hi, Everyone.

I'm struggling with answering Unit 37 Assessment Item 3 and could really use some guidance on writing a proper lesson plan. I've put together a draft, but I'm confused about how to correctly write the observations related to the experience. I also need to include photos of the activity as part of the assessment. Is there anyone who can help?

It sounds like you're navigating some challenging assignments. Let's break it down to help you write a proper lesson plan and correctly document your observations.

1. Writing the Lesson Plan:
A well-structured lesson plan typically includes the following sections:

A. Learning Objectives:

Clearly define what you want the children to learn.

Objectives should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART).

B. Materials Needed:

List all the materials you will need for the activity.

Ensure you have everything prepared in advance.

C. Procedure:

Provide a step-by-step guide on how the activity will be carried out.

Include instructions for both the children and the educators.

D. Assessment:

Explain how you will assess whether the children have met the learning objectives.

This could include observations, checklists, or specific tasks.

E. Reflection:

Reflect on what went well and what could be improved.

Consider the children’s engagement and learning outcomes.

2. Documenting Observations:
When writing observations related to the experience, you want to focus on specific, objective notes. Here’s how to do it:

A. Objective Descriptions:

Describe what you see and hear without interpreting the behavior.

Example: "Sam used the red crayon to draw circles on the paper."

B. Context:

Provide context for the observation. Where did it take place? What were the conditions?

Example: "During the art activity, at the drawing table."

C. Behavior:

Note the specific behavior, interaction, or skill demonstrated.

Example: "Sam displayed fine motor skills by holding the crayon with a pincer grip."

D. Follow-Up:

Plan what you will do next based on the observation.

Example: "Introduce different colored crayons to expand Sam’s color recognition."

3. Including Photos:
Take clear, focused photos that capture the activity and the children’s engagement.

Ensure you have the necessary permissions to take and share photos of the children.

Label the photos with descriptions that relate to your observations and learning objectives.

Example Observation:
Observation:

During the art activity, at the drawing table, Sam used the red crayon to draw circles on the paper. Sam displayed fine motor skills by holding the crayon with a pincer grip.

Follow-Up:

Introduce different colored crayons to expand Sam’s color recognition and encourage more detailed drawings.

By following these guidelines, you should be able to create a comprehensive and effective lesson plan that meets the requirements of your assessment.
