an example

-Carefully read the question and understand what is being asked

-Begin writing your response to the question by using your OWN words

-Tell me what you think and know

-This should be the longest part of the answer

-Now…Prove your answer by supporting your previous points with a quote from your textbook or class notes

-It is essential that you cite and provide the source correctly to avoid PLAGIARISM penalties

This means that you must  always:

- Use “quotation marks” at the beginning and at the end of your quote.

- Cite the source by telling me where you took the information from.  This is done after the ending quotation mark after each quote.

- At the end of your assignment, do a Reference Page.  

-Remember that quotes are used to support your thoughts, not to replace them

-Now…Provide a specific example from your Virtual Child reports

-Your example must connect and support your previous points

E- Extend with an Example

Jacob’s shows typical development in the area of standing.   Infants need to be able to stand up independently before they can walk.   Therefore the ability to stand is important as it allows the infant to establish their balance and develop their gross motor muscles in their thighs and calves. 

By 12 months, “Pulls self to a standing position” (Oesterreich.L. (1995). Ages & Stages –newborn to 1 year. In L. Oesterreich,B. Holt, & S.Karas, Iowa family child care handbook (Pm 1541) (pp.192-196). Ames, IA: Iowa State University Extension)

As Jacob’s Mom, I run to grab my camera when I see him pulling himself up to stand for the first time.   Jacob is standing up while holding on to my couch with one hand.   (Education, 2015)
