Multimedia Based Stage Theory Assignment

Multimedia Based Stage Theory Characteristics and Presentation Assignment (100 pts):  

 

 Assignment: Your research will trace the emergence of particular period of development which inspires you to delve into. You will choose a developmental stage below. From the chosen developmental stage create a blog or a PowerPoint or a Student Report (following Microsoft Word Format).  Following the developmental level, research the subheadings writing about each stage. Be inclusive of graphics, related videos/multimedia formats which enrich the content of your project. Include a title page, table of contents, graphics, videos, in-text citations, and a reference page).  In accordance to the video this assignment is due during week 9.  Parts of this can be used to assist in the development of the required Educational Theory Matrix. For this course we will not include the development domains for the prenatal period or the emerging adulthood. You will also be required to present this assignment. _____________________________________________________________________________________
