Question 2
Allie is an exceptionally quiet and shy student in third grade. Allie's teacher suggests that Allie use self-monitoring in an attempt to increase the number of productive comments she makes during class discussions and the goal that Allie will agree to make five comments every twenty minutes. In general, this goal is
a. appropriate, as the quick increase in the frequency of Allie's participation will likely significantly enhance the class's conversation.
b. appropriate, as twenty minutes is a brief time period so Allie won't struggle with the issue of delayed gratification.
c. inadvisable, as the expectation that Allie so quickly make so many comments may lead to anxiety and ultimately cause the plan to fail.
d. inadvisable, as by third grade, Allie should be able to demonstrate self-monitoring over a longer period of time.
