Activity #1 Commentary Paper Draft

For this paper, imagine you are an infant teacher.  A new family is joining your class — the family is your Infant/ Family Case Study family.  You will be the child’s key teacher, so you conducted the home visit to get to know the family and child.  Now, it’s time to you share what you learned about the child and family with the other members of your teaching team so they can get to know the family and baby.  Write a report (your Commentary Paper) to share what you learned about the family and baby, and how the teaching staff can support the baby and family in your classroom.

The Commentary Paper is a recursive write process that involves the following steps:

1. 1. 1. Write your Commentary Paper draft
      2. Submit your Commentary Paper draft
      3. Receive feedback on your Commentary draft
      4. Revise your Commentary Paper draft based on the feedback you receive
      5. Submit your Commentary Paper Final
      6. Upload your Commentary Paper Final to your ECE e-Portfolio
