activities prompts

  • complete the in-text questions for Tiemann & Markle, chapter 5
  • complete the in-text questions for Tiemann & Markle, chapter 3
  • complete the in-text questions for Tiemann & Markle, chapter 4
  • following the examples Tiemann & Markle gave you in Appendix 8, generate model concept analyses for the following concepts assuming that you will be teaching these concepts to children with autism in elementary school:
  • complete steps one and two in Tiemann & Markle's Appendix 6 (bottom of page 218) and be prepared to present your rational sets to the class tomorrow. Do this for each of the concepts listed above.
  • of the 13 example draft concept analyses Tiemann & Markle present in Appendix 7, select four and identify in each what procedural errors the drafts contain and exactly where the errors are located; also, please generate at least one solution for each procedural error you detect (due next session)
  • using the guidelines Tiemann & Markle lay out in appendix 3, complete analyses of three different chain tasks (due Session 5) children with autism often need to learn and be prepared to present these in class tomorrow; select one chain task from each of the following areas:
    • social skills
    • self-help skills
    • leisure skills
      • note: for each of the steps in at least one of your chain analyses, also list the Big 6+6 motor skills that are components for that step
    • (click here for this assignment's rubric)
  • once you have completed step analyses of three different chain tasks as described above, develop model analyses (due next session) for each task (see pages 208-212 for example model analyses)
  • using the examples Tiemann & Markle provide you in appendix 5, construct flow charts (due Session 5) showing the sequence of decisions and consequent operations involved in the following algorithmic tasks on which children with autism often require remedial instruction and be prepared to present these in class tomorrow:
