8	Introduction		Hello, North House! I'm Roxana Castaneda, and as you recall, my senior topic is Child Care. If you don't remember my EQ, it's okay, since its been recently updated anyway. So the updated EQ is: EQ here. Now, if you can think back all the way to October/November, can you remember some things I told you about child care in my ten minute presentation?
9	Verification (Steps to check for student understanding)		• Beginning of Presentation: What are some things you remember from my ten minute presentation on child care? • End: What seems to be the most important when you are commincating with a child?
10	Body (Give and/or demonstrate necessary information)		• Literal: It's important to talk to the child even when they can't understand you. It's good to encourage them to speak for themselves and to ask them questions that can have multiple answers. You can't encourage certain responses from them, as it can limit their creativity and imagination, and will cause them to think in ways that will only serve to please you and not the child. • Interpretive: The information that I have learned lets me connect it with the things I do at my mentorship. Most of these things need to be practiced in order to have some sort of handle on them, so my mentorship is a great place to do that. • Applied: These tips on communication can help you with building healthy relationships with your future children, and can also help you build relationships with just about anyone else. It gives you a good foundation because you know to respect their opinions and not guide them into thinking how you want them to think. The end goal of my project is to be able to communicate well with any child I encounter, and to not seem as if they are inferior to me or that I am superior. To let them be able to trust me.
11	Visuals		I will be using a Power Point Presentation with some graphics and bullet points on it to get the audience to follow along easily.
12	Activity (Describe the independent activity to reinforce this lesson)		• What is the activity: A bonding game to learn something from another classmate that you didn't know about before. • How it will be done: By using the communication skills/techniques that you would use on a child. Leading them on with questions, but letting them answer in their own way. • What materials will be used: No materials will be needed.
13	Three Important Sources		Three Important Sources 1. Mentorship with Ms. Grace and Ms. Liz. It's helped me actually put this answer into practice. If the child feel like they don't know you or they can't trust you, then you'll never really be able to help them until you can get together and build a relationship. 2. Source #11 - "Conversation in Child Care." California Childcare Health Program. States the importance in talking to a child even if they're too young to understand anything you're saying. 3. Source #23 - "Getting Along Together: Developing Social Competence in Young Children." PBS. How to get children to interact with each other and build up their social skills with others.
14	Conclusion		So, I hope I didn't talk your ears off too much, and you were able to find some enjoyment in my presentaion, and I hope you will think back on this information when you have children of your own! You might think it would be obvious that you'll talk to your child constantly, but you should remember to talk to the child, and not at them, and you'll have a very healthy relationship with your child. Now, what seems to be the most important when you are communicating with a child. And as a final reminder, my EQ was insert and an answer to that was build a relationship with the child to get them to communicate and socialize well with others.
