Swick, K. J., & Williams, R. D. (2006). An analysis of Bronfenbrenner’s bio-ecological
perspective for early childhood educators: Implications for working with families
experiencing stress. Early Childhood Education Journal, 33(5), 371-378.
A. (5 pts) REPORT: Read the article (included in your Supplemental Handouts Packet or linked
on Canvas). Write your objective report in paragraph form with complete sentences (no
bullets, lists, fragments), using as many paragraphs as necessary to thoroughly inform your
reader about the article. Describe the focus; identify the major points, and conclusions
discussed. DO NOT MERELY summarize, repeat or give an outline of the sections
(headings) covered in the article. Your report should inform me well enough so I do not need
to read the article. Avoid personal opinions. Citations from the article are required.
B. (5 pts) CRITICAL RESPONSE: Your response must be written in paragraph form with
complete sentences (no bullets, lists, fragments) using as many paragraphs as necessary to
comment on the author’s work in terms of your own knowledge and experiences with the
topic. Whatever you choose to focus on, the response must be CRITICAL. You can write
about your own reaction to the article as a whole or about a particular point or points made
by the author. If you came away with new insights, explain them. If you disagree with the
author, say why. Explain and support your views as they derive from previous knowledge
and objective experience, not from feelings, personal opinions or intuition. Include citations
when needed.
