At age 18 months, Chris’s mother stood behind him, helping him throw a large ball into a box. For instance, she showed him how to grip the ball. When Chris showed that he could throw the ball, his mother stepped back and let him try on his own. This is an example of scaffolding, which is a key concept in Vygotsky’s theory. In a paragraph, describe a skill or some knowledge that you possess, which you learned via scaffolding. Clearly explain how you learned the skill (or knowledge) by relying on the support of a more competent person. What support was necessary? How did the support structure change over time?
