The purpose of this project is for you to gain a greater understanding of theories of emotional and social development and social justice by applying theory and other course concepts to a children’s book that you review. This assignment will also give you a greater understanding of how children’s books help children learn and develop socially and emotionally though children’s books and other stories. These stores can also help them gain a sense of identity, belonging, and empathy for others. This process of social and emotional learning, developing, and attaining a better sense of emotional well-being is often referred to as bibliotherapy. For this assignment, you will choose a children’s book that illustrates social emotional development and create a presentation summarizing the book and how it illustrates concepts from one of the social and emotional theories reviewed in this course.
AT THE END OF THIS ASSIGNMENT, YOU WILL HAVE DEMONSTRATED THE ABILITY TO:
Describe a theory associated with emotional and social development
Explain social justice concepts
Identify and explain the key teaching messages from children’s books
Analyze examples of literature by drawing on the basic assumptions of social and emotional development theories and social justice issues
