Lacy's Off Task Behavior?
Page 1
Introduction
Lacy is a 7-year-old girl with an intellectual disability in first grade. According to her teacher Mr. L, Lacy often engages in off task behaviour throughout the school day. Lacy is not able to complete assignments for school because she avoids her teacher when the directions are being given to the class. She is interested in coloring, drawing, working on the computer, and listening to stories. When Mr. L asked Lacy that why she colors and draws instead of working on class work, she responded that she does not like to do the other class work because she find it hard for her.
Lacy enjoys the time when stories are being read out loud to the class. She listens to the stories and often comment on them. Her off task behaviour does not occur this time. Lacy also explained that her classmates do not like her and she does not want to engage in class activities. Lacy’s off task behaviour usually occurs when her teacher Mr. L is explaining the independent class work and when her classmates are working independently on the assigned work.

Sharon M. Draper Chapter Summary
123 Words | 1 PagesSharon M. Draper has used character and an engaging plot to create a novel of contemporary realistic fiction about an eleven-year-old girl living with cerebral palsy.

Draper uses Melody’s internal dialogue (she is unable to speak) to reveal her personal journey and perspective.

While the plot flows logically, Draper adds a twist when our protagonist is left behind and misses the competition.

Even though behaviourism has had a major impact on the education in the western world, some critics highlighted the theory’s limitations by stating it was merely a scientific model that has been tested in a laboratory under specific test conditions, and how humans have a higher cognitive process than animals. They also found the theory to be dehumanising and unethical, not to mention that there was no consideration to the humans’ thought complexity compared to animals. A possible problem in relation to teachers utilising behavioural strategies in the classroom, such as praise or time-out, is the potential for haphazard, inconsistent and incorrect implementation (Angela M O’Donnell 2012, p
