Review the elements required for each section your storybook below. Visit the e to familiarize yourself with this technology. Please review the instructions on the home page for Take a Writing Lesson, Build your Storybook, and Keep your Stories by selecting the link for Try it Now. After you create your free account and develop your story book, make sure you select Publish Public so that you can share your story book. You will be provided a link that you can share in the Week Two Interactive Assignment page so that other students can review your story. Do not select share or download as those require you to pay, which is not necessary for this assignment. As an alternative, you can develop a PowerPoint presentation with a screenshot of each page of your book for each slide. Please contact your instructor if you have any questions.
Your username will become the professional author name for your book. Therefore, when you register for your My Storybook account it is recommended that you use the following format for your username: first initial followed by last name (e.g., JSmith). If you receive a message that your username has been taken, it is recommended you include your middle initial (e.g., JASmith). Do not use Internet handles and/or other unprofessional appearing pseudonyms.
Review the information in Chapter 5 of your textbook corresponding to the assessments appropriate for the age group you selected and review the (2013) article for examples of information provided to the public about psychological testing. You may choose any appropriate title for your story. Be sure to address each of the following questions in your storybook in an age-appropriate manner:
Why is the character in the story being referred for testing?
Who will conduct the assessment?
What is being measured?
How long will testing take?
Who will be present during the assessment process? If not in the room, where will parents and/or guardians be while the character in the story is being tested?
How will the results be used? Who will have access to the results (e.g., medical doctor, family, the court, teachers), and why? This will vary depending on the character and plot in your story.
How will the tests be taken?
What will be the outcome of the assessment? How will the information be used? How might this information impact the life of the character in your story?

After the games, Ms. Clara talked to Leo's mom and Ms. Kim. "Leo is a very smart boy," Ms. Clara explained. "The tests showed that Leo learns best when he can move around and use his hands. We can work together to give Leo some fidget toys to help him focus his energy in class."

Leo loved playing with his friends at school. They would build amazing towers with blocks, zoom toy cars across the floor, and color pictures with all sorts of wacky faces. But sometimes, Leo felt a little different. While his friends could sit still and listen to the teacher's stories, Leo would wiggle in his seat and sometimes blurt things out before it was his turn to talk.
