Your presentation should be 7-10 minutes and must include some form of visual aka PowerPoint. Make sure your Presentation has plenty of photos/pictures so it’s engaging. Questions and short videos are also welcome. Pull from at least three scholarly sources.
Your presentation should include the following content:
•Define generativity in your own words.
•Do a review of the text and locate some generativity theories and theorist(s) you like the most (e.g., Erikson, Logan, McAdams). Explain why you connected with one or more of these.
•Describe how socialized gender roles might contribute to generativity.
•Identify your level of generativity (include your score) and discuss the why(s).
•Discuss how your personality may or may not contribute to generative actions.
•What are you currently doing that is generative? If anything. Explain.
•Share your future career goals and how you think this might contribute to generativity.
•Explain other actions you can take to increase/maintain generativity throughout life.
