Directions: Select a five minute video of preschool children to use for this project. You can choose any video that you find interesting.

Introduction/Overview – introduce your paper
Observations of Children (describe with details what you observed in terms of cognitive and socio-emotional development of one target child)
Analysis of Observations – analyze what you observed…in other words, compare your observations to the readings/theories, etc. and specifically explain what you think about the target child’s cognitive and socio-emotional development and why
Analysis of Observation Tool – explain the advantages and disadvantages of using a specific observation tool to observe a child (e.g., the observation checklist you used for this assignment). Discuss whether the tool/chart helped you be a better and more focused observer.
Reflection – reflect about using a structured observation tool (e.g., chart) and reflect about what you learned from observing a child in a focused manner.
Conclusion – summarize with a few points and provide a couple of examples of how you could use this kind of observation in a current or future job.
