Write notes along with ideas that come to mind about the quality of the children's experience that led to joy. Reflect on your notes, photos, and other evidence, and ponder on how you might convey to others the quality of the children's joy. Suggesting a child's emotion is joy - or checking with them that this is what they experienced, might start a discussion about their feelings, and what prompted them. Write notes along, with ideas that come to mind about the quality of the children's experience that led to joy. Reflect on your notes, photos, and other evidence, and ponder on how you might convey to others the quality of the children's joy. How might you 'bottle' the moment? Innovative ideas are encouraged. Reflections might involve critical thinking, scientific research, and creative ideas, about emotions and emotional development in general, and joy in particular. Create documentation in whatever form conveys the essence of the experience of the child or children's joy as you experienced it. Painting, poetry, sculpture, performance art, music, song, visual representation of ideas, design of children's space, children's book, or some other innovative idea. It is more important to represent the idea of joy than create art for its own sake, but the representation itself does have value. Write a short paper that can either be included with a display or be submitted separately. The paper should include the following: Write Role Play or Scenario: A Joyful Christmas Dinner Party: Observations and Reflections with 05 children aged 2-11 years old, Santa Clause, gifts, and Christmas dinner make them joy and excitement! a) The context of the observation, including pertinent details, such as: where it was undertaken, when the observation was made, how the location was accessed, what the type of agency/school it was, the time of day, the type of play was involved, what the ages of the children were, and how they came to be part of the group.

b) The process of the experience as it was observed and how the learner participated and recorded elements of it.

c) The children's participation: If the children had a role in the documentation, such as if they were taking photographs, adding their own drawings, deciding what might be displayed, or had any thoughts about what joy was.

d) Your reflections about the process of this authentic assignment, uncovering moments of joy, and examining details about what might have brought them about, and what the children might think about them. The discussion might be an academic discussion about the sources of joy or biological aspects of emotion, thoughts about the place of joy in childcare or school experience, or perhaps, and personal thoughts about joy in relation to how your own experience shape how you share experiences of emotion with young children. e) What you have learned from doing this Authentic Assessment Assignment.
