Mind Map of language acquisition and learning to communicate

Create a Mind Map expressing your emerging understanding of first and second language acquisition and how children learn to communicate in various ways. Include consideration of First Nations Perspectives.

Working in groups in class, you will first develop and present a draft in class. Working alone after class, you will then refine, complete and upload the Mind Map, together with a short (up to 300 words) written text explanation of how the Mind Map captures your ideas.

4. Discuss your map in class in week 2 support session and take a photo of this for evidence of your thinking process. Save the photos as a pdf to upload to drop box.
5. Reconsider and adjust your draft Mind Map after session 6. Include thinking about Aboriginal languages and First Nations perspectives. Include references to suitable academic sources from the unit and your own research. You must include references to content in the unit.
