Week 6: October 12, 2023

Finish screen time article

You guys did an amazing job today hanging in there as we went through this article! I know that it was a lot to take in and that we probably spent too much time on it in class. But I think that knowing how to read a research article is an important skill for masters level students who are preparing to possibly take the ACT and enter college in the next couple of years!

Your homework is to read through the article and finish answering the questions from the handout. You may need to read through it twice to more fully understand it. And remember, don’t get discouraged if you don’t understand specific words or if the statistics are confusing. Just keep going! We are reading the article for the big picture, and you don’t need to understand the statistics.

Finish reading What the Children Taught Me

Next week we will have our discussion on What the Children Taught Me. Don’t forget to look for examples of scaffolding (i.e., providing support by mentoring, assisting and helping children until they can do things on their own). And also write down all the snippets of wisdom that you find. Don’t forget page numbers, so that they are easier to find.

Looking ahead…

The following week (October 26) we will be going on a field trip to the Child Development Lab at BYU.

One more thing…

If you didn’t turn in your ASQ yet, you can still do it and turn it in next week 🙂
