Instructions

In this unit, you learned about early adulthood in terms of physical, cognitive, and personality development, and major social life events. For this assignment, you will reflect on those topics and how they are portrayed in popular media.

• The Graduate (1967)
• She’s Having a Baby (1988)

• Reality Bites (1994)
• Into the Wild (2007)
• Raising Helen (2004)
• Diner (1982)

Take notes while watching the movie/tv show. Look for themes that were discussed in this unit. Some examples include:

• intimacy vs. isolation
• dialectical thought
• gender roles
• attachment

• parenting

Select two themes that were present in the movie/tv show, and select two scenes from the movie/tv show that best portray those themes.

• 1st Paragraph: Give the title of the film/tv show and a brief synopsis in your own words
