Response on group members posts on black board - Essay Example

20 July, Responses to the posts Response Yes, this is indeed the most appropriate way of tracking a reading passage and it also helps the reader pay full attention. Rest is OK, but it would have been more operational had Paige looked straight in the air instead of on the floor, because this would allow her to achieve her target without having to bump against others or causing unnecessary inconvenience to others. It would have made it look more real had you said that after running down the long hallway, Paige halted at the point of destination to catch her breath.

You are telling that Alfredo is not willing to eat the brussel sprouts (but yes, in operational terms!), whereas you were supposed to tell how Alfredo would eat brussel sprouts in operational terms. Response 2 I totally agree with you. Yes, we are required to show the behaviors when we are told to express them in operational terms. This is the right way of paying attention in operational terms, but the student could have made it easier by tracing the text with his finger while he does the rest.

That is right, but it more like a definition of the phrase “running down the hallway”. Please incorporate some expressions to make it sound more operational! Right, eating the brussel sprouts includes the three activities you have mentioned, but spice that up with the person’s expressions, tell if the taste was appealing etc. Response 3 I appreciate that you have chosen to analyze different tasks. This will broaden our understanding of the target behaviors in operational terms. From the way you have made the boy avoid the task, he is more of retaliating than avoiding the task.

When the boy is lying on the floor and kicking his legs in the air, he seems to be protesting against something that is being done to him, and may be the parent, teacher or guardian that is asking him to do that will force him to do that. Let’s suppose he doesn’t want to eat, and the parent holds his hands and forcefully thrusts the spoonful of cereal into his mouth. What would he do? Perhaps bang even louder, but could he avoid that? What about the boy getting up from his seat, grabbing the door knob and slamming it shut against the frame as he rushes out of the room?

This way, he would manage to decently escape the task, won’t he? Very right. I used to do exactly that when someone would ask for my toy, but I would also give a quick warning glance while pointing out a finger towards the other child before moving away. Rather than playing with the toys inappropriately, you have shown the boy hurting himself in all ways. First he bangs his fists against the little blocks, must’ve been painful! And then he starts chewing up the plastic blocks. God! He would end up scarring his gums and breaking his teeth.

The boy can rather play inappropriately by using the blocks as balls to play bat ball or badminton, or for that matter, putting the block into his mouth and licking it.
