Instruction
You are responsible for reading three (3) Case Vignettes, linking your thoughts and analysis to strategies you would employ as a classroom teacher. Please reference teaching strategies you would use and individual curriculum planning that may be implemented in the classroom, based upon your textbooks (include citations / references resources).
Case Vignettes are found at the end of each chapter in the Mindes text. Select three (3) case vignettes which study children from 3 different age groups. For example, you may not choose three kindergarten aged children, however, you may choose one 4 year old, one kindergarten age, and one 5 year old.
Read through all of the information provided in each of the three child studies you select for this assignment. Answer each of the case study questions posed in each case. Then analyze each child study from a curriculum and educational standpoint, answering the following questions:
What have you learned about each of these young children and their families?
What more do you need to know?
Are there alternative interpretations to the data or opinions?
What will you do if you meet the young children in a teaching situation?
What plans for intervention and teaching will you make?

You may USE THE ASSIGMENT TEMPLATE sent to you via email, to complete this assignment, or not. Keep the subtitles in the template.
Be sure to identify the name and age of each child study you analyze at the beginning of your narrative for that child. Each child study analysis should be at least two pages, double spaced, typed with a 12 font for a minimum of 6 pages total.
After your analysis/answers to the questions, in a separate section, write a reflection on the entire process. In the reflection, answer the following questions: Was this assignment difficult to accomplish? Why? What did you learn through this process (what questions were answered for you or what new understanding did you gain)? What new questions did this process generate? How might you apply this new understanding/knowledge? The analysis should be at least one page.
