PSY241 Lifespan Project Part 3 Template

In this project, you will be using the knowledge that you are gaining about developmental milestones throughout the lifespan and relating them to your own experiences to get an even more personalized view of how the course directly relates to you. This assignment is divided up into 3 parts with 3 different due dates, but all 3 parts This will count towards your 1 project grade (worth 140pts). If you miss the due date for Part 1 or Part 2, you can still get partial credit by turning these parts in by the Part 3 due date. Ten points will be deducted for each week the assignment is late, and all parts MUST be submitted by the Part 3 due date, as this is the final due date for the entire project.

 

I have already done part 1 and part 2. I need you to do part 3 for me. You can use whatever references you need to complete this project. No worry about the textbook.

 

Part 1

 

· Infancy

 

· Toddlerhood

Part 2

Part 3

Remember, as we move into Part 3, some students may have yet to experience one or more of these developmental stages; therefore,  realistic, hypothetical experiences, based on future aspirations and how you envision your life unfolding, should be used for any stage that you have not yet lived . Even if things do not go as planned or plans change, this is an opportunity for you to set goals for your future (and work towards achieving or modifying them), as you describe stages in Parts 3 that you have not yet experienced .

 

Also, remember, you  must use the same person for the entire project

 

For each of the 9 life stages  being explored in this project, you will be addressing  physical ,  cognitive , and  emotional and social milestones , as outlined in the book. Under each milestone in each stage, you should:

 

· first identify and describe, in detail, 3 or more facts about the milestone (citing research from reliable sources, like the textbook). 

 

· then explain, in detail, 1 or more personal experiences that you had related to development in that stage, using what you know or have learned about your past . If you wish, you can include pictures or images, information relevant to your culture, or other information that enhances what you are sharing.

 

Please note that  each of your answers should contain at least 1 well-written paragraph, not just a few bullet points, thoroughly answering the question posed.  The more thorough your answers are, the better your chances are for earning points. Remember, writing is expected to be part of every course in the Creative and Liberal Arts department and therefore, will be considered for all assignments, so please use complete sentences, paying special attention to grammar, spelling, and punctuation.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions, as I’m happy to help. Hope you enjoy this opportunity to relate what you are learning in class to your own life’s journey!
