UNIT 9 PROJECT DIRECTIONS Assessment and Theoretical Perspectives Your Unit 9 Project has two parts. In Part I, you will be watching videos of children participating in reading activities, and you will document and assess the behavior you witness. You will use this information in Part II of the project, in which you will write a paper and use theoretical perspectives to explain the language development you witnessed. The template provided in the course has been set up in the correct format to complete both parts of this project.
