Curriculum Activity: Social and Emotional Development
Design an individualized, responsive, developmentally appropriate lesson plan for the social and emotional development of an infant (birth to twelve months), a toddler (twelve months through two years), and a preschooler (three through four years) in a template of your choice.
• Create a lesson plan template of your choice in a Word document for your response.
• Use APA format for the title page, references page, and in-text citations.
• Develop an introduction explaining the context of your lesson plans and a conclusion summarizing anticipated outcomes for each age level.
A good place to start is to expand the information provided on developmental charts. For instance, when it says provide interesting toys and materials for babies to handle and explore, be specific as to what specific toys and materials you would use and how you would use them to build social and emotional skills. You must have at least 2 activities for the domain at each age level.
Choose a title, and designate the age level for each group of activities.
