In class we discussed that when we observe children we can gain access to their goals , strategies , and their theories . Reflecting on their goals, strategies, and theories, we can build meaningful conversations with children.
This final videative assignment asks you consider (1) the behavior and skills of the children and (2) provide an example of how, when teachers closely observe children’s underlying goals, strategies, and theories, we can build meaningful conversation.

Answer each item below:
What words or phrases do these boys produce that provides evidence they they are preschool aged ?
Observe this clip in the 10 second intervals provided and describe the boys’ behaviors– other than language– for each interval.
Based on their behaviors together with their verbal language, identify the boy’s goals for each interval. That is, although we can assume there is a larger, single goal that threads throughout the entire 30 seconds, identify 3 smaller goals for each 10 second intervals.
Identify the boys’ strategies for each of 3 goals you identified
What are the boys’ theories underlying each of the strategies that they employed?
Provide a sample of what you might say to the boys if you were seated next to them during this activity to engage in a ‘high level’ conversation. Specifically, what would you say to address their underlying theories? Write down this sample conversation as your answer this item and explain your response.
Finally, reflect on you language response and identify if you’ve used a particular teacher strategy to engage with the boys. If so, identify the strategy. If not, how might you change your language response and the conversation to make use of one or more of these teacher strategies?
