Evaluating a Play Episode with Blocks
    Over the past six weeks you have considered the environmental and teacher interaction effects on a childs ability to learn during play. Your text presents two methods of classifying the developmental stages of play. One is from Piagets theory and includes functional level play constructive play dramatic play and games with rules. The other classification is based on Partens theory and includes solitary play parallel play associative play and cooperative play.
    For this Assignment write an informative essay based on the video Playing with Blocks that evaluates play episodes of four children with varying levels of developmental skills. Support your evaluation with citations from at least three of your sources included in your reference list. Observe each of the boys playing in the block area and describe the following:
    Your paper should be 3-4 pages long doubled-spaced in a 12-point font size (Arial or Times New Roman) with one-inch margins written in Standard American English and APA format for citations and references. You must include a title page and a reference page (but these do not count in the 3-4 page guidelines). Finally your essay should include a strong introduction and conclusion which connects your evaluation of the play episode with blocks to both Piaget and Partens theories of play.
