Assingments % - Unit 5 Exploration ForumUnit 5 Exploration Forum

The Exploration Forum is a chance to discuss any topics related to this unit or the course. It is an opportunity to think about how the concepts we cover relate to you and your work as an early childhood practitioner. It allows you to express your thoughts, expand your thinking, gain knowledge and perspective, share and view resources, and gather ideas about approaching the course assignments. Think of this as “practice time,” where you ponder, apply, and make connections while earning points based solely on participation.

There are no assigned topics or questions to answer and no length requirement. While you should use proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation, your grade will be based solely on participation.

25 points for three (or more) relevant posts
15 points for two relevant posts
10 points for one relevant post

Please represent yourself honorably. Your posts need to express your thoughts and your words. However, if you paraphrase (summarize or reword) or include a quote, you must cite (identity) your source. Provide the web link when referencing an online source.
