Developmental Stage

Order Description

THIS PROJECT IS NOT ON ATYPICAL DEVELOPMENT

STEP 1 – Choose one developmental stage:

Infancy – birth to 2 years of age

Early Childhood – 2 years to 6 years of age

Middle Childhood – 7 years to 12 years of age

Adolescence – 13 years to 18 years of age

STEP 2 – Research the physical, cognitive and social/emotional changes/components of that developmental stage (you may need to use theories when explaining these components in addition to the one theory you have chosen to highlight.
For example, it’s hard not to mention Piaget’s theory when you are discussing Cognitive development in any of the stages).

STEP 3 – Choose one developmental theory that fits with the developmental stage you have chosen. Research the many aspects of this theory, not just how it pertains to your developmental level. For example, what is the theory’s main focus and how does this theory relate to developmental concepts such as nature vs. nurture, continuous or discontinuous development etc. Look at my review powerpoint presentation for Unit 9 for some ideas that I uploaded to Doc Sharing.

STEP 4 – Research cultural impacts on your chosen developmental stage. Do not discuss other countries. Choose a cultural aspect that affects life here in the U. S. Look at my review powerpoint presentation for Unit 9 for some ideas that I uploaded to Doc Sharing.

STEP 5 – Print the grading rubric and keep it next to you while you write your paper.

STEP 6 – Write your paper.
