Week 4 – Assignment

Presenting Lifespan Development

[WLOs: 6, 7] [CLOs: 1, 5]

Based on the required reading and videos for this week create a presentation addressing the social, emotional, and moral development of a chosen age group. The age group you choose will be up to you.

In your presentation,

• Create a title page slide that includes the following:
  • Title of the presentation
  • Your name
  • Course name and number
  • Instructor’s name
  • Date submitted
• Create an introduction slide that identifies the age group you will be addressing, and summarize key findings about this stage.
• Create slides that address the following:
  • The variables that affect healthy social development in your chosen age group.
  • The variables that affect healthy emotional development in your chosen age group.
  • The variables that affect healthy moral development in your chosen age group.
  • A summary analysis how decision making could be affected by the variables you include.
• Create a conclusion slide.
  • On this slide summarize the information you have shared and evaluate the advice you would give your audience to promote healthy development in these areas.
• Create a voiceover explaining each of your slides.
  • Although PowerPoint does include a way to do this, you may also use any software or online recording website that you are comfortable with, such as YouTube (Links to an external site.) or Screencast-o-matic (Links to an external site.).
  • If you do not wish to record yourself, you may provide a transcript, noting clearly the slide it aligns to. APA style must be applied to transcripts.
• Include a reference slide at the end of your presentation.

The Presenting Lifespan Development presentation

• Must be eight to 10 slides in length (not including title and references slides) and formatted according to APA style. See How to Make a PowerPoint Presentation (Links to an external site.) in the Ashford Writing Center for additional support.
• Must include a separate title slide with the following:
  • Title of the presentation
  • Student’s name
  • Course name and number
  • Instructor’s name
  • Date submitted
• Must utilize academic voice. See the Academic Voice (Links to an external site.) resource for additional guidance.
• Must use at least three credible sources in addition to the course text. These may be any other required resources for the week.
  • The Scholarly, Peer-Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources (Links to an external site.) table offers additional guidance on appropriate source types. If you have questions about whether a specific source is appropriate for this assignment, please contact your instructor. Your instructor has the final say about the appropriateness of a specific source for a particular assignment.
• Must include a separate references slide that is formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. See the Formatting Your References List (Links to an external site.) resource in the Ashford Writing Center for specifications.
• Upload you presentation to Waypoint or if you use an online software, copy paste your link in the comments section of Waypoint, as well as upload a title page only, with this link clearly available. See this example of a title page with a presentation link.

Carefully review the Grading Rubric (Links to an external site.) for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.
