This assignment will be based on proper research and organization as well as the proper use of grammar and spelling. It is worth 20% of your grade.
The minimum length requirement is five COMPLETE pages double spaced, 12 point font. In this paper, you will use a minimum of two sources which you need to cite on an additional reference page. One of these sources will be your textbook. The additional resource can be a journal article, a book, or a website.
You need to choose at least five different topics/concepts that you learned about in this course. It can be anything you found interesting or of your choice. Your topics can be broad or more specific. (For example Psychological Development in Children or something more specific such as one of Erickson’s Stages of Development) Relate your life experiences to what you learned throughout this course. Include in your paper what you have learned about yourself as it relates to concepts found in your resources, and how this knowledge will be of practical use to you in different aspects of your life in the future.
Do research to find out more about each topic and cite this information. Your paper will be organized topic by topic. Each topic will have at least two paragraphs. The first paragraph will include cited information that you have researched. In the next paragraph, discuss how it relates to your past experiences, present issues, or future solutions or events that may occur. You should have introductory and concluding paragraphs.
