Book 1 read for the class was "Theories of Childhood" by Carol Garhart Mooney. Excellent book. Highly recommended for anyone who is interested in children, early childhood development, or just how to be a better mentor for children in general. It really explains well, in easy terms, classic theories on children's learning styles, behavior attributes, and relationships to society through the 5 major theorists in this area of education: John Dewey, Maria Montessori, Erik Erikson, Jean Piaget, and Lev Vygotsky.
We had to put together a mindmap that sorted out the ideas mentioned in this book. I, of course, got lost in all the interesting tidbits, and my mindmap ended up being 4 pages stuck together with one of the GREATEST pieces of technology ever made -- scotch tape.
I could only bear to show you two because you might cringe
at the amount of OCD perfectionist writing. I, however, love it.
So, Mindmap 1 down. Who knows how many more to come.
Until the next time.
