A. Prepare a multimedia presentation (e.g., PowerPoint, Keynote) (suggested length of 58 slides) to help your colleagues understand how to teach handwriting more effectively at the primary and upper elementary grade levels. Your presentation should include the following: 1. Handwriting components for primary and upper elementary handwriting instruction 2. Age-appropriate handwriting activities to teach and practice handwriting 3. Three resources for colleagues about handwriting components and strategies Note: Check the quality of the resources to make sure they are ones that you would use multiple times in a classroom. List them on a separate slide. B. Develop a set of guidelines (using your experience with the handwriting correspondence course) to use in selecting a handwriting program. Note: Please submit these guidelines in the format of a table. There should be two columns, one titled Guideline and the other titled Rationale. C. Design an original lesson plan (using the attached WGU Lesson Plan Format) that introduces a specific aspect of handwriting. Note: Use the handwriting correspondence course for ideas. An example of a lesson would be to introduce the four basic strokes to be used in teaching manuscript handwriting. D. When you use sources, include all in-text citations and references in APA format.
