Give one example of how caregivers influence their children’s language development. Your inspiration for this reflection might be from your own observations or perhaps how this process is portrayed through books, movies, or television.
Reminder: be sure to check out the syllabus for a description of these reflection papers (e.g., reflections should be 250-500 words and apply the concept to what you have experienced or observed).

Instructions:
 
Reflection Papers: Each week you will be given a topic that relates to previous or upcoming
course material. These papers are intended to provide an opportunity to elaborate on the
material and think how it relates to your life and the real world. In general, you will be able to
choose one of two options for your response:
Option 1: Respond to the specific reflection paper topic posted on Canvas under
˜Assignments.
Option 2: Write about anything else that has been covered so far in class or in the
reading that you find personally relevant.
For whichever option you choose, reflection papers should be based on your personal
opinions and experiences. In other words, tell me a story. Do not simply summarize or
repeat content from the readings or lecture. Describe how the ideas you are studying
apply to stories from your own life or about people you know. Also, please write about
things that you are comfortable with others seeing as I will occasionally select quotes and
share them (anonymously) with the class.
Each paper should be 250-500 words and submitted through a link that will be available
