Psychology assignment 2301
Over 85% of Americans will become parents, but we do not “teach” young adults about how to become effective parents. You will be asked to submit a paper based on your reactions to a book of your choosing which addresses developmental, behavioral, or educational issues affecting adolescents. Use this course assignment as an opportunity to select an aspect of raising a tween/teen/young adult that interests you. For example, if you are interested in risk taking, you could select a book on dealing with kiddos who are using drugs/alcohol. If you are interested in maximizing educational attainment, perhaps you select a book on educating young adults. Alternatively, it could be a book about treating this age group clinically (e.g., depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism, etc). Select your book, and take notes as you read the text. Using the suggested outline below AND the grading sheet, develop your book review. Papers must have six or more good paragraphs and be 4+ pages long. Format: New Times Roman font, size 12 Page 1: Title Page (see grading sheet) Page 2: Start your page with the title, centered in the middle of the page (no bold) Paragraph 1- Describe the purpose of the assignment (use above description for clues). Describe the target audience, or who should read it. Then describe why you selected the book. Next, provide a brief overview of the book (e.g., this book educates parents about how to reduce ADHD symptoms at home instead of medication use). Paragraph 2- Describe preconceived notions you had about this age group and the book theme (e.g., about tweens and social media, early adults and depression, etc) Paragraphs 3 Select one major thing you learned and provide 3-5 good examples to support this idea. At least 2 of these ideas or facts should come from the book and be supported by research. Paragraphs 4 Select one major thing you learned and provide 3-5 good examples to support this idea.
