For this A&D, you will present on a topic from Chapter 4. You will first pick one topic from the options below. Topics correspond with sections of Chapter 4 of the textbook. Once you have decided on your topic, post a discussion forum response indicating the topic you choose. I prefer that students do not do the same topic as a classmate, so it will be on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please check the discussion forum to make sure your topic has not already been claimed. If all topics have been claimed, a topic may be duplicated only once.

Next, you will prepare one or two PowerPoint slides on your topic. In considering what materials you should include on the slides, think about what would be most meaningful to your classmates. You may pull out the most important themes of your topic and discuss those, show a short video, include pictures, etc. I would like each person to indicate significant events that happen in a human’s life and when they occurred (e.g., 9 weeks – become a fetus; 8 months – stranger anxiety; 11-13 – puberty; 65 – late adulthood). Use the textbook as your main resource.
After creating the PowerPoint slide(s), I’d like you to audio record (video is fine too) your presentation.
