E03 Curriculum Development
Directions: Be sure to make an electronic copy of your answer before submitting it to Ashworth College for grading. Unless otherwise stated, answer in complete sentences, and be sure to use correct English spelling and grammar. Sources must be cited in APA format. Your response should be four (4) pages in length; refer to the "Assignment Format" page for specific format requirements.
Using the eight (8) content headings used in the text, develop a week-long plan for group time appropriate for 2-year-olds, and a second plan appropriate for 4-year-olds focusing on literacy.
Remember to think carefully about beginning with something familiar that the children like and also remember to put whatever you judge to be new or most difficult early in the plan so that children will be able to concentrate on it before they become too tired.
Make sure to include the following in your lesson plans:
1. A detailed description of the activities.
2. Required materials for the activities.
3. The objectives of the activities.
4. Any informal or formal assessments that will be used.
