Week 2 Assignment: Analyze Childhood Development Theories Activity Description Developmental and learning theories of the twentieth century form the cornerstone of our knowledge about children. What we know about how children grow, learn, and adapt to the world around them is critical in our quest for greater understanding of the children we serve. Learning about these theories enables us to formulate our own philosophies of education. For this assignment, you have read Chapter 3 in your text and reflected on cognitive and language development and social and emotional development. It was clearly stated that a theory of child development is a belief system about how and why children grow, learn, and behave as they do. The use of theories is very practical and can guide adults in making decisions about teaching and caring for children. Incorporate the following into your paper: • Identify five prominent child development theories. • Present what you consider to be the critical concepts and strategies of each • Explain how the theories apply to the classroom setting. Support your paper with three scholarly references from peer-reviewed journals published in the past 7 years. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included. Length: 5-7 pages Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Be sure to adhere to the Northcentral Academic Integrity policy.

Should student writers be subject to having their work checked by anti-plagiarism software? Why or why not?
Develop a thesis statement on the topic of electronic policing and anti-plagiarism software and write an argumentative essay. Your chosen topic needs to be specific and might address a question like the ones you see in these examples: Should student writers be subject to having their work checked by anti-plagiarism software? Why or why not? Is anti-plagiarism software an effective deterrent to stealing published work? Why or why not? You may choose another topic regarding electronic policing as well; just be sure that your main thesis addresses the topic of electronic policing. Strive for at least three strong arguments in addition to a counterargument and refutation (this resource [pdf] will help you craft your counter argument and refutation). Using argumentative topic sentences that include your opinion for each section can help ensure the majority of your essay is argumentative. For example, “First, students should be subject to having their work checked by anti-plagiarism software because….” Then be sure to support that claim with researched data. Conclude each paragraph with a sentence that summarizes the paragraph’s main ideas. Sample Thesis Statement: Ideally, a thesis would include the major assignment objectives for the essay, which in this case would be your claim/opinion, reasons why you have that opinion, and the counter-argument: “Students’ work should be checked by anti-plagiarism software because (add argument 1), (add argument 2), and (add argument 3), even though (add counterargument focus).” Use at least three credible sources (the author should be considered an expert on the topic in which he or she writes; try Google Scholar to search), such as books, articles, and websites, to support your thesis. Include a mix of cited paraphrases, summaries, and quotes in your argumentative research paper. Use the MLA format to create proper parenthetical citations as well as a Works Cited page at the end of your essay.
