I'm soooo close to finishing this course but struggling soooo much, any guidance on how to write these two questions would be much appreciated:

-monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of aspects of the environment in supporting young children's creativity and creative learning ( I have done an observation on a creative activity an a reflection on the activity-how engaged the children where to start this question )

_evaluate and reflect on own practice in promoting creativity and creative learning.

Hi, this would be task that sees you identifying different areas and aspects (lighting/warmth) of the whole setting that supports creativity eg. floor space, table tops, outdoor layout, where craft materials are, how they're accessed, how they're used and where. What and where construction/building type toys/resources are used, by whom and how eg. bricks, small world furniture, puzzles

To evaluate & reflect on your own practice, consider how you're involved in creative activities. Do you help plan them, use your knowledge of child development/age & stages and children's observations to organise personalised activities, help deliver them and and use open ended questions that supports exploring, solving and language?
