MVC Grading: A good answer will address every part of the question, and will describe the child’s
behavior and provide 1 or 2 supporting examples. In addition, wherever possible, you should relate
your descriptions and explanations of the child’s behavior to the concepts, theories and research
covered in our text book. Avoid expressing an unfounded opinion – try to base your arguments on
research studies and conclusions, or a theory that seems well supported by the research in the field.
Scoring: 4 points each:
/4 Every part of the question was answered and the child’s behavior was described
/4 There are at least 2 examples to support your answer
/4 Reference to the course book is given
/4 There are no unfounded opinions (Refer to a source here – an author or a theory – thanks.)
/4 Full sentences were used, with correct grammar and punctuation
My Virtual Child Assignment # 4 (there are 5 of these total during the course) worth 20 points each
This assignment covers your MVC from age 6 – 11 years. MIDDLE CHILDHOOD
How well is your child adapting to social situations in the home and outside the home? Does your
child have any behavior or emotional problems that have become apparent between 6 and 11 years
of age? (some possibilities include internalizing and externalizing problems, ADHD, and obesity).
Why do you think these problems are occurring and what are you doing about them?
