You will write a report comparing and analysing two transcripts of child and parent/ /carer talk, in which you wil:

1. select one written and one video example to discuss

2. identify important features of the interactions and analyse how child and adult are showing these in both examples

3. analyse the interaction, communication and meaning making, focusing on both the child and the adult

4. draw some comparisons between the two examples (discuss any similarities or differences you note)

5. use information from lectures and readings, appropriately referenced, to justify your analysis and key points (sections 2,3, & 4)
