Rationale Page

Hi everyone, I've had a few queries about the rationale page so let me explain here .

What?
The rationale page must be written essay style (usual typing format applies) and have a max of 300 words (including references) with 3 references. Only one rationale page is needed to cover the two lesson plans. Simpllleee right?:)

The rationale should explain the following
1. Why did I choose the activities ( and it better not be 'because Shai suggested it!!')
2. Why is it appropriate for the children in my class( any issue with interest, ability, etc)
3. How do I know it is a good activity to conduct from a developmental point of view (ie. cite references)

How?
Type the rationale in paragraph form. Insert your 3 references at the end of it.. (APA guidelines!!)

Where?
Place the rational page before Lesson plan 1 so the sequence of your document should be

1. Assignment Cover page
2. Rationale
3.Lesson plan 1
4. Lesson plan 2
5. Appendix

I will only expect to read the rationale when I am marking it. Hand in your assignments in class during your Tutorial next week. I will collect all assignments in the first 30 mins of the tutorial. You will have to see me to explain if you are not in class by then. Do not give me excuses such as..' my printer was not working , so and so is printing it for me etc' . Print it the day before not the night before.

Good luck and do your best! I am looking forward to it.

Shai
