To determine the correct answers to the questions, we need to carefully read and analyze the information provided in each question. Here are the explanations for each answer:
Question 1: A disadvantage of large group times is:
The correct answer is C. the difficulty of having intimate conversations.
To find this answer, we need to understand the disadvantages of large group times. Option A and B mention positive aspects of large group times, which means they are not disadvantages. Option D mentions "sharing times," which does not relate to the question. Only option C mentions a potential disadvantage of large group times, as it can be difficult to have intimate conversations in a large group setting.
Question 2: In a study about kindergarten readiness, which one of the following was true?
The correct answer is D. Self-control was rated number one.
To find this answer, we need to understand the findings of the study about kindergarten readiness. Option A, B, and C mention different factors, but only option D mentions self-control as the top-rated factor in the study.
Question 3: As Ms. Ramirez planned for her group time, she considered the best way to begin. Which one of the following would NOT be an effective way for her to begin group time?
The correct answer is A. Asking individual children if they brought something to share.
To find this answer, we need to consider effective ways to begin group time. Option B, C, and D suggest various engaging activities that can be effective in starting group time. However, option A suggests asking individual children if they brought something to share, which may not create a cohesive group experience and may single out children who did not bring anything to share.
Question 4: Which one of the following is probably NOT one of the reasons that circle times fail?
The correct answer is D. The teacher read a chapter book, hoping to encourage the children to excel.
To find this answer, we need to identify the reasons why circle times fail. Option A, B, and C mention possible reasons that can contribute to the failure of circle times, such as the large space, repetitive songs, and prolonged time period. Option D suggests that the teacher reading a chapter book may encourage children to excel, which does not fit with the concept of circle times failing. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
Question 5: Charlie does not come to group time on his own. While he is there, he does not participate or respond. It would be best for his teacher to:
The correct answer is C. allow Charlie to participate when and if he is ready and willing.
To find this answer, we need to consider the best approach for Charlie's participation in group time. Option A suggests insisting on his participation, which may not be effective if he is not ready or willing. Option B suggests allowing him to sit quietly, which may not encourage him to participate or engage. Option D suggests calling on Charlie more often, but this may put pressure on him and discourage participation. Option C suggests allowing Charlie to participate when and if he is ready and willing, which respects his readiness and willingness to engage.
Question 6: Luis is being introduced to the finger play "Friends at Play." It is very likely that Luis will:
The correct answer is D. learn the words and movements simultaneously.
To find this answer, we need to understand how children typically learn finger plays. Option A suggests that Luis will do the finger movements first, option B suggests that he will learn the words first, and option C suggests that he will not participate if he doesn't understand the words. However, finger plays typically involve learning the words and movements together, so option D is the correct answer.
Question 7: Children learn:
The correct answer is D. from teachers and themselves when puppets are used.
To find this answer, we need to understand how children learn when puppets are used. Option A and option B suggest that children only learn when teachers or they themselves use puppets, which is not accurate. Option C suggests that children learn very little with puppets, which is also not accurate. The correct answer is D because children learn from both teachers and themselves when puppets are used.
Question 8: Which one of the following requires a child's coordination with speech and movement?
The correct answer is D. Finger plays and puppet play.
To find this answer, we need to identify activities that require a child's coordination with speech and movement. Option A mentions puppet play and storytelling, option B mentions finger plays and flannel boards, and option C mentions flannel boards and storytelling. However, only option D correctly identifies activities that require coordination between speech and movement, as both finger plays and puppet play involve using both speech and movement.
Question 9: Mr. Howard was busy preparing his puppet area. The best way for him to store the puppets is:
The correct answer is D. on pegs inside the "teacher-only" cabinet.
To find this answer, we need to consider the best storage method for puppets. Option A suggests using a shoe rack, which may not provide proper protection for the puppets. Option B suggests using an airtight container, which may not be suitable as it can cause damage to the puppets. Option C suggests storing them in the puppet theater, but that may not be the most practical storage solution. Option D suggests storing the puppets on pegs inside a "teacher-only" cabinet, which ensures they are organized, easily accessible, and protected.
Question 10: Adam wanted to play the part of the giant in the puppet show. When he put on the puppet, he became scared and didn't want to be a giant. This is a typical attitude of many:
The correct answer is B. three-year-olds.
To find this answer, we need to identify the age group that typically exhibits this behavior. Option A suggests two-year-olds, option B suggests three-year-olds, option C suggests four-year-olds, and option D suggests five-year-olds. Given the scenario, it is common for three-year-olds to experience fear or discomfort when pretending to be something they perceive as scary, so option B is the correct answer.
Question 11: Teachers use puppets to:
The correct answer is C. motivate.
To find this answer, we need to understand the primary purpose of teachers using puppets. Option A suggests teaching academics primarily, option B suggests using puppets to control rather than entertain, and option D suggests using puppets for discipline. The most common use of puppets in an educational setting is to motivate children and engage them in learning experiences, making option C the correct answer.
Question 12: The teacher's role in creative drama is as a/an:
The correct answer is B. coparticipant with the children.
To find this answer, we need to understand the role of the teacher in creative drama. Option A suggests the teacher is the leader for the children, option C suggests the teacher is an observer, and option D suggests the teacher is a resource to answer questions. In creative drama, the teacher typically participates alongside the children, becoming a coparticipant in the dramatic experience, making option B the correct answer.
Question 13: According to the textbook, because of their ability to conceptualize and fantasize, four-year-olds are at the perfect age for drama because they:
The correct answer is C. learn acting and audience skills quickly.
To find this answer, we need to understand why four-year-olds are considered at an ideal age for drama. Option A suggests that they like to dress up, option B suggests they follow directions well, and option D suggests they enjoy getting attention. The most appropriate response in the context of drama is option C, as four-year-olds can quickly pick up acting and audience skills due to their developing abilities to conceptualize and fantasize.
Question 14: In simple dramatizations, the text recommends that children:
The correct answer is A. act without words first unless the words are very familiar.
To find this answer, we need to understand the recommended approach for children in simple dramatizations. Option A suggests acting without words first unless the words are very familiar, which allows children to focus on physical expression before incorporating language. Option B suggests speaking words first, which may not be suitable for simple dramatizations. Option C suggests coordinating words with actions from their beginning attempts, which may be more complex for simple dramatizations. Option D suggests children begin acting by being narrators, which may not involve active participation.
