Family Project Paper Homework
You are expected to incorporate the information you created for the individual stage homework throughout the semester. But you also have to add a specific introduction and conclusion based on the rubric. You also need to discuss some other cognitive and social/emotional concepts that you did not address in the earlier homeworks. And in many cases, you need to provide more detail in the examples you turned in previously.
You can be as creative as you would like to be. For example, you can choose to provide a generic approach or pretend you are the parent, or psychologist working with this family. Most students organize the paper by the stages, then discuss all relevant concepts within those ages. But you may choose to organize your paper in a topical way: Piaget, etc. You may also insert photos or clip art if you wish.
Whichever way you decide to organize your paper, be sure to clearly identify theories and the examples connected to them. Since I am not a mind reader, if you don't clearly state that what you are discussing is intended to be a reflection of Vygotsky's theory, I won't have any way to know that. You can put section and subsection headers or use bold or italics or parentheses to highlight the theorist name or concepts you are using.
It is expected that your final paper will be about 6 to 10 pages but it is no problem if it is longer. If it is much shorter than 6 pages, it would be likely to be missing some elements but the key is to cover all of the rubric sections in detail and with clear examples.
Format your homework according to the following formatting requirements:
i) The answer should be typed, using Times New Roman font (size 12), double spaced, with one-inch margins on all sides.
ii) The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the homework, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
iii) Also include a reference page. The Citations and references must follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
