infancy/childhood

Based on text and/or other material covered in this course, prepare five one-page (300 words or more)  Each essay needs to include the following three parts: 1. Find and summarize a recent newspaper or magazine article OR describe a personal experience or observation that illustrates, exemplifies, or pertains to one of the developmental phenomena, theories, processes, issues, or research findings discussed in the text. (Note: You may wish to check the original journal article on which the newspaper or magazine account is based to be sure that the author’s findings are accurately reported in the media.) This is your opportunity to provide a "real-world" example of course material. Look at the examples the authors use to describe terms, concepts, etc., and consider how your own life or the life you see around you show these course concepts in action. Do not over think this because the examples are all around us in everyday life. 2. Briefly explain the developmental phenomenon, theory, process, issue, or research finding described in item 1. What do the textbook authors say about this topic? 3. Explain how the above two descriptions fit together? How does your example match the course concept? Ask me any questions that you have about this exam at any time during this course. It is designed to support your application of what you have learned in this course to the “real” world.
