Human+Development-Conception-Toddlers

Welcome to HD-Conception through Toddlers

I am going to try and keep you updated with our plans through this wiki space. I know that this has been a shaky start for your class on this wiki page, so we are going to be using it more for you to see upcoming projects and assignments as well as due dates. That way we can continue to learn about not only the birth of a child but also the development of a toddler before the end of the semester. So... the rest of the semester will tentatively look like this...

baby and mom with explanations [|www.childdevelopmentinfo.com] Use the following rubric- this is the same one that you picked up from me

For your final project, the class is going to create a magazine for new parents. The Magazine is going to be called "Infant Inquiry". The Magazine will be divided into 3 groups- Each group will follow the following Infant Inquiry assignment, except only use the development that has been assigned to you.





Along with the group assignment, individually you will need to do the following assignments 1. Make a chart with 5 headings for each of the 5 senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. Under each heading of the senses, list at least 5 activities that would promote the development of that sense in the infants. Please also include a column for why that activity would be good for that sense.

2. Create a "Baby's Bill of Rights" poster (suitable for dispaying) Include __everything__ you believe a baby has a right to receive from parents and caregivers.

3. Evaluate 3 toys designed for a baby under the age of one. Include a picture and description of each including cost. Evaluate it by answering the following questions How is the toy designed to be safe? How does the toy enhance learning? Create a comparison chart for your evaluations including the above. If you were going to buy only 1 of these toys that you evaluated, write a paragraph(5-7 sentences) explaining which one you would choose and why.

These projects are due Dec. 14.
