CASE STUDY Four year old Libby woke up from her nap hungry. Her mother had promised that they would make muffins, a favorite snack. So mom read the recipe and helped Libby measure the ingredients and put them in the correct order. Mom even let her stir at appropriate times. She also lined the muffin tin with paper liners and helped pour the batter into them. When the muffins finished baking and came out of the oven, Libby squealed with delight saying “I did it…..I made muffins!” She was so proud of herself. Together, mom and Libby, enjoyed muffins with a cold glass of milk, which Libby poured by herself. After their snack, Libby wrapped up the last muffin for her brother to eat when he came home from school.

This may be neatly hand-written or typed. You will swap scenarios and identify the areas in the scenario you swapped for. You will get grades for writing one and answering one. Sign Up to be assigned a partner. • Option #2: Create a Developmental Areas Mini-Poster by finding a picture of a child or children in an interactive situation with another person, preferably an adult or older sibling. Glue picture to the center of the poster. In the corners, explain how each area of development is represented in this activity. Posters should be neat, creative and thorough in explanations. • Option #3: Complete the Picture Analysis writing assignment.
