EDPR 3302 Final Presentation Guidelines- 100 PointsTopic – Adolescence Due by April 10
The purpose of the culminating final project is for you to convey specific concepts in childhood
and adolescent development that you learned in class. For this project you will create a written
case study and recommendations based on two separate observations. The recommendations may
be in the form of activities and/or tasks specifically aimed at facilitating or aiding in the physical,
cognitive, and social-emotional development of a child and an adolescent.
Each student will complete two separate 30–45-minute observations/interactions. You will
observe your participants based on the date you signed up for in Canvas. For example: If you
signed up for Early Childhood, you will observe two children that are in the early childhood
stage. After the formal observation (or interaction), each student will be required to write up a
full case study on the observed child and adolescent assessing them within the three
developmental domains (physical, cognitive, and social-emotional development). Following the
case study description, each student will be required to propose three recommendations for the
child’s parent/guardian and teacher for aiding in their healthy development. The final project will
need to include both case studies and all recommendations (with rationales) in one PowerPoint or
another presentation format. The presentation must be presented at the university of Memphis on
campus.
No late projects will be accepted!
