Welcome to Module 2.
Journal #9 will get you familiarized with adolescence and you will have three tasks for this assignment. Task 1: Read 10.1 of your textbook (pages 384-395) and then answer the following question (please copy the question on your blog): Describe two types of biases critics have leveled at Kohlberg's theory. Do you believe these criticisms are well grounded? Task 2: Research the terms imaginary audience and personal fable. In your post define these terms clearly and explain them with examples from your life or other examples from your peers. After you have come to understand these terms, think about what it really means to be an adolescent. Think of the typical adolescent experience and come up with an original list of "10 Facts every Parent Should Keep in Mind when Parenting a Teen". Make sure these are psychology and developmentally focused. You will also need to describe/explain why each of the ten facts are important as well as how it is psychologically based. Task 3: Please visit this site and read through the information presented. In your third and final task, you will respond by sharing what you learned from this article. Make connections to yourself and explain how this article helped you better understand yourself in terms of the development process of adolescence. How long should this journal assignment take?
Total for this journal is 2 days. |
