Part Two
The issue of child poverty is an area that I am very passionate about, and is one of the reasons I decided to study early years. Think about what you are passionate about in relation to children and families and why you have decided to study your degree programme. It could be that you are passionate about a particular topic, like children with SEN, childrens health, children starting school or babies in particular, and thats influenced your decision to study at university. Alternatively, it could be that there are several issues that have influenced your decision. It could be that you already know what career you want when you graduate, and your passion to study your degree stems from that. If you are struggling to think of something, think back over the sessions of this module and choose something that has stood out to you in one of the lectures.
This part of the assignment is in 2 sections:
Section 1 (5 Harvard References. This is counted as the equivalent of writing 1000 words)
I found 10 sources of information about child poverty to illustrate why I think its an important issue. I had a range of sources, including a charity report, government report, book chapter, journal article and documentary. For the first part of your assignment, you need to find 5 sources of information that illustrate something you are passionate about in relation to children and families (something other than child poverty). One of these MUST be a peer-reviewed journal article, like my article by Ridge (2011) and one of them Must be a book, like my book chapter by Grant (2010). Your 5 sources might all be related to the same topic, or they might focus on different things that connect with children and families.
In Section 1, set your 5 sources out as a list of 5 Harvard References. E.g:
1. Peer-reviewed journal article example: Elliott, H. (2015) Forest School in an inner city? Making the impossible possible, Education 3-13, 43(6), 722-73.
2. Book example: Bilton, H. (2010) Outdoor learning in the early years. London: Routledge.
3.
4.
5.
Section 2 (1000 words)
In Section 2, you have to write a 1000-word essay about what you are passionate about in relation to children and families and why, using your 5 sources as a starting point for linking to literature. Aim to have a structure like the one below:
Introduction (100 words): Introduce the main points and topics that your piece will cover, so that the reader knows what to expect from your assignment. What is the focus of the piece? What are the main things you are going to be talking about in this piece?
Your topic (800 words): Use your 5 sources you have chosen to explain what you are passionate about and why you are passionate about it. You need to link to all 5 sources of literature in this section. You may also want to link in other pieces of literature to support your points. Some questions you might want to use as starting points are:
What are your passionate about?
Why are you passionate about this?
Why is it an important area to consider?
What do your 5 sources show? Why is what they are saying important?
What are the links between your topic and early childhood services?
What could be done to improve policy and provision in relation to your topic?
How does your topic link to child development and childrens health and wellbeing?
What are you going to do to make a difference in relation to this topic? Why?
Conclusion (100 words): Conclude the main points you have made about what you are passionate about and why.
Reference List: List all the sources and reading you have referenced in your Section Two, using the Harvard referencing system.
