I am highlighting a particular lesson about development for my pan examples. Personally it is one of my favorite because we all grow and develop but I get to dote on my children. Since most of my students do not have children or younger brothers/sisters, much of the content about young children is difficult for them to apply. Babysitting helps or working at a daycare but those students are limited. I like to take the opportunity (while my kids are young, haha) to share examples via pictures or home videos that I have that demonstrate the concepts discussed. Referring back to my paragraph for pane 1 in my previous post, my personal examples make the content a reality and subsequently more meaningful for the students. This particular image to share is one of my daughter drawing. We discuss schemas that kids have and how they are reflected in the drawing skills of young kids. As you can see in this portrait my daughter is doing of yours truly, I am apparently all head and no body. This is very common for her age because babies and young children are attune to facial expressions for survival so the rest of the body is unimportant to them until kindergarten.
Pane 4: My Web Links
In the development unit, there are numerous stage theorists the students are expected to know. Major names from Lawrence Kohlberg, Jean Piaget, Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, and of course Erik Erikson. This can get overwhelming for the students. Having quick access to various organized charts and relationship graphs makes for great compare and contrast discussion. It is also a visual way to walk the students through stages based on age as to not overwhelm them. I like this chart because of the content. It is clearly organized and provides me great discussion points. It is also one that I can release to the students to bookmark for their studies.
