Choose ONE of the following longer essay prompts to answer in 2-4 paragraphs. Ensure that you are responding to all aspects of the question, that you are including examples, appropriate levels of detail when necessary, and making references to coursework/content/vocabulary. A. Analyze the following language sample from a 3-year-old student in a preschool classroom. In your analysis, include all the pertinent information, including: the student’s MLU score, identify the morphemes in this sample (bound, inflectional, derivational), syntax skills (i.e. sentence structure, pronouns, passive voice, adjectives), vocabulary skills, and any notable articulation skills. After analyzing the language sample in a detailed paragraph, talk about at least 2 different evidence-based strategies that were discussed in the text or the course that could be used in the classroom to continue to support her speech and language skills. How would these strategies specifically support the skills you are observing – be specific!”I went to the park with my mommy last week. I saw a bid, black dog on a purple leash. It was so bid! I do not like dogs, even small dogs but especially not huge dogs! It walked where my brother likes to swing but I wanted to go do ‘wheeee’ on the swing. I was scared and runned to my mom, but she not there. I was wooking and searching. My big sister found me. I was crying on the bench. I yelled ‘Where mama go?’ and she gave me big hugs to stop me crying. Mommy saw me and picked me up. We went to other swings at the park so I can get my happiness back.”  B. Read the following case study about a 7-year-old student in a 1st grade classroom. Identify and describe the primary language domains impacted in Liam’s case and the possible case of this challenge – be specific! Use evidence from the case study to explain how these language challenges may affect his classroom learning and participation. Explain how Liam’s language difficulties could impact language and literacy skills, particularly reading comprehension and classroom discussions. What are 2 environmental modifications or accommodations that you could make as the general classroom teacher to support Liam’s learning and language development?“Liam is a 7-year-old first-grade student who has been identified by his teacher as struggling with a language challenge that affects his classroom participation. Last year, Liam suffered a traumatic head injury on the playground and has struggled with his overall language skills since then. In the classroom, Liam has difficulty following multi-step oral directions and often needs instructions repeated or broken down into smaller parts. During literacy activities, he struggles to retell stories, providing limited details and having difficulty sequencing events in order. His sentences are generally grammatically correct but brief, and his responses to questions are often minimal. Liam’s speech sound production and hearing are within typical limits; however, his overall language difficulties are beginning to impact his reading comprehension and ability to demonstrate understanding during class discussions.”
