Assignment:

In teams, by the end of the week students will compose a research-based essay and informational brochure focusing on the Five Selves. This essay must be in APA format with a minimum of five (5) professional references.

The Whole Child text is a practical methods book for foundational or introductory courses in early childhood education. It explains how to teach and care for young children from infancy through Grade 3 in ways that foster healthy development. It helps pre-service teachers understand what children need from the learning environment in order to thrive. For that reason, it focuses on the child and pictures him or her as composed of a number of selves: the physical self, the emotional self, the social self, the cognitive self, and the creative self.

Part 1: Essay

In your essay, provide a comprehensive explanation of each of the Five Selves.

• Physical Self
• Emotional Self
• Social Self
• Cognitive Self
• Creative Self

The explanation will include, but is not limited to:

• The benefits of developing each
• Research connected to each self
• Specific strategies that educators can implement to develop each self

You will use the text as your guide, but you will also use outside research by citing a minimum of five (5) professional references.

Part 2: Brochure

Create a research-based brochure for families that outlines the Five Selves. Include:

• Explanation of each self
• The importance/benefits of developing each self
• One specific strategy that families can implement for developing each self in children

Be sure to use all six panels on the brochure wisely and include a solid balance between text and graphics. Three (3) references must be included on this brochure.
