There are two parts to this assignment: Part A and Part B. You are required to complete both parts.
Part A (approximately 1000 words)
Read the following scenario:
You are a newly appointed room leader for a pre-kindergarten class. In this room, you have 10 children aged from 3 to 4 years. Five out of ten students come from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds with the English language as either the second or third language spoken at home. Furthermore, two out of ten students have limited spoken English language.
Requirements
Using the scenario presented, develop and evaluate a learning experience that could encourage and support children’s emergent reading comprehension. This should include:
1. A description of the importance of developing children’s emergent reading comprehension.
2. A description of the learning experience which includes:
• a) the aim of the learning experience
• b) the expected learning outcome of the learning experience which includes a link to a specific sub-outcome under Outcome Children are effective communicators from the Early Years Learning Framework or a relevant learning framework (e.g. Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework)
• c) a description of a teaching strategy that will support the development of children’s emergent reading comprehension within this learning experience
• d) a description of a teaching strategy that will support teaching children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds within this learning experience
• e) the inclusion of ICT either as a teaching tool or as a tool that children can use to help aid their learning and development
• f) a description of how you would assess children’s learning
3. An evaluation of the learning experience
Note: You must justify your work by making links to a learning framework - such as the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) or Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework, scholarly sources and other relevant sources. All references must be cited using the APA 7th edition style. Please note that there is a minimum of 10 references across both parts of this folio.
Part B (approximately 1000 words)
Read the following scenario:
You are an early childhood educator within a kindergarten room at an early learning centre. Through your observations, five children in your room have displayed excellent emergent writing behaviours, which include combinations of multimodal communication systems, including speech, drawing, music, and dance. More specifically, the group of children have confidently displayed the following:
• They are aware of the relationships between oral, written and visual representations.
• They use symbols in play to represent and make meaning.
• They use creative arts (e.g. drawing, painting and storytelling) to express ideas and make meaning.
Requirements
Using the scenario presented, develop and evaluate a learning experience that could support and extend children’s emergent writing development. This should include:
1. A description of the importance of supporting and extending children’s emergent writing development.
2. A description of the learning experience which includes:
• a) the aim of the learning experience
• b) a description of how this learning experience will build on what children already know and what they have demonstrated
• c) the expected learning outcome of the learning experience which includes a link to a specific sub-outcome under Outcome Children are effective communicators from the Early Years Learning Framework or a relevant learning framework (e.g. Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework)
• d) a description of a teaching strategy that will support the development of children’s emergent writing development within this learning experience
• e) the inclusion of ICT either as a teaching tool or as a tool that children can use to help aid their learning and development
• f) a description of how you would assess children’s learning
3. An evaluation of the learning experience
Note: You must justify your work by making links to a learning framework - such as the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) or Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework, scholarly sources and other relevant sources. All references must be cited using the APA 7th edition style. Please note that there is a minimum of 10 references required across both parts of this folio.
Please ensure that Part A and Part B of your folio are clearly labelled using headings. In following, you can organise your responses under each section using sub-headings. All scholarly sources and other relevant sources referred to in your folio must be included in a reference list. Your reference list should start on a new page and it should be appropriately formatted in APA 7th edition style. Note that the reference list will not be included in the word count.
