Psychology (child development)
This week we do not have a typical journal assignment. We are going to do something different. This week we are going on a field trip. You have to go on a field trip to some place where groups of children play. There are play areas at the Mall, McDonalds, Burger King, Playgrounds, ect. I would like you to go and observe children playing. Take the Child Observation Form (attached with this question) answer the questions, On your papers include the typed questions before your response.
Briefly state where you observed and for how long, but don’t spend a lot of time in this assignment describing your experience. Just focus on the questions on the observation form.
