Annie Speaking Insight – pg. 130 Practice Test #2 Art Drawing

Drawings have the ability to stimulate certain moods and feeling for the person who views them. This is especially for infants, whose language isn’t yet developed, but they have a very keen sense of vision. Although verbal language is taught to children, pictures associated with the language education have been found to be more effective. Children tend to be more attentive to books that have color illustrations than books that have only written text.

Note – Taking - Reading Main Topic: Drawings Main Idea: 1) Stimulate mood and feeling 2) Effective with pictures – learn language

Listening Script As children grow and develop, they are taking in information and acquiring knowledge at a rapid pace. As children develop their cognitive abilities, they assimilate new information into their existing knowledge base and adjust to the new information by accommodating it to what they already know (Piaget, 1954).

Listening Script Children’s ideas about how the world works come from the experiences they have and the attitudes and behaviors they see around them. Keeping this in mind, young children with developing minds watch many hours of television, which has a significant influence on their development.

Listening Script Positive developmental outcomes for young children during their growing – up years include developing autonomy, initiative, and a sense of industriousness (Eriksson, 1964). Children who witness female characters on television programs who are passive, indecisive, and subordinate to men (and see this reinforced by the environment around them) come to understand this is the appropriate way for females to behave.

Listening Script It is less likely for female children to develop autonomy, initiative and industriousness when they rarely see it modeled in those around them. Similarly, because male characters on television programs are more likely to be shown in leadership roles and exhibit assertive, decisive behavior, children learn this is the appropriate way for males to behave.

Note – Taking - Listening Main Topic: Child Development Main Idea: 1) learn around them, not through classroom, but through television 2) TV – males learn leadership, exhibit assertive, decisive behavior Females learn to be passive, indecisive, subordinate to men
