Week 2 - Interactive Assignment
Developing Psycho educational Materials for Children
In this interactive assignment, you will
create a story for children to educate them about psychological assessment. To
begin, select a targeted developmental or reading level pre-K through grade 6.
Review the elements required for each section of your storybook below. Visit
the My Storybook website (Links to an external site.) to familiarize yourself with this technology.
Please review the instructions on the home page for Take a Writing Lesson,
Build your Storybook, and Keep your Stories by selecting the link for Try
it Now. After you create your free account and develop your story
book, make sure you select Publish Public so that you can share your story
book. You will be provided a link that you can share in the Week Two
Interactive Assignment page so that other students can review your story.
Do not select “share” or “download” as those require you to pay, which is not
necessary for this assignment. As an alternative, you can develop a
PowerPoint presentation with a screenshot of each page of your book for each
slide. Please contact your instructor if you have any questions.
Your username will become the professional author name for your
book. Therefore, when you register for your My Storybook account it is
recommended that you use the following format for your username: first initial
followed by last name (e.g., JSmith). If you receive a message that your
username has been taken, it is recommended you include your middle initial
(e.g., JASmith). Do not use Internet handles and/or other unprofessional
appearing pseudonyms.
Review the information in Chapter 5 of
your textbook corresponding to the assessments appropriate for the age group
you selected and review the Mental Health Assessment (Links to an
external site.) (2013)
article for examples of information provided to the public about psychological
testing. You may choose any appropriate title for your story. Be sure to
address each of the following questions in your storybook in an age-appropriate
manner:
·
Why is the character in the story being referred for testing?
·
Who will conduct the assessment?
·
What is being measured?
·
How long will testing take?
·
Who will be present during the assessment process? If not in the
room, where will parents and/or guardians be while the character in the story
is being tested?
·
How will the results be used? Who will have access to the
results (e.g., medical doctor, family, the court, teachers), and why? This will
vary depending on the character and plot in your story.
·
How will the tests be taken?
·
What will be the outcome of the assessment? How will the
information be used? How might this information impact the life of the
character in your story?
Include content to address any developmentally appropriate fears
that individuals of the age group you selected may have. For example, young
children commonly associate going to the doctor with getting a shot.
Be sure to include all the required material from the
instructions above in your online storybook. Once you have created your
storybook, include the link in your initial post. In your initial post, note
the age or grade level for the target audience of the story. Briefly analyze
and comment on the challenges and benefits related to explaining psychological
assessment concepts using language that is developmentally appropriate for children.
Compare at least two assessment instruments used to assess intelligence or
achievement for the age group you selected. Include in-text citations and
references for all sources used.
Note: It is highly recommended you complete all written work in
a separate document first and then cut and paste the required content into your
online storybook. This will allow you to edit and save your work separately
from the online storybook, should any technical failures occur. This approach
will also allow you to work on your content without having to remain connected
to the Internet, which will make it easier to develop and edit your content
prior to publishing it to your online storybook.
If you experience any technical
difficulties, please visit the My Storybook Help
Center . The technical support offered through your Student
Portal will not be able to assist you with the My Storybook website.
Note to Students: This assignment requires
that you produce a visual presentation, supply a spoken audio narrative, and to
listen the audio narrative of others. Note you are also asked to provide
a transcript of your presentation. If you have a documented disability
accommodation that might interfere with your ability to complete this
assignment you may contact your instructor to develop a comparable alternative
assignment. If you have other issues that you feel may be a barrier to
your ability to complete this course or this assignment please contact the
Office of Access and Wellness at: [email protected].
