Pragmatics Checklist
When using the pragmatics checklist how do you want us to indicate when the child preforms the action?
YOU get to decide many things in your project. The key to this is that you provide EVIDENCE that the child performs a skill.
Some people have numbered all of the turns. They have submitted the checklist with the number of the clause(s) where the child demonstrates that skill.
Others have addressed this in an entirely narrative fashion.
Again, the KEY is ensuring that you have addressed EVERY skill, noted if the child demonstrated it or not. If they did, provide evidence from the sample. If they did not state why you believe the skill was absent (not developed, no opportunity to use, etc.)
Make sure that you follow the directions in the project and use the rubric to ensure you have addressed everything.
