Refer to the grading rubric posted in the Baby project module for  grading details.  Your goal is to apply the theories and concepts listed  on the rubric to make a cohesive story of your child’s life from birth  through age 18.

You are expected to incorporate the information you created for the  individual stage assignments 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 assignments.  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 6-10 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.

Below is a section of a sample paper that illustrates one way to  approach the discussion/application of the stages:  *** Be aware that  your paper also requires Bronfenbrenner’s theory****

See attached information that will also be needed to help with paper.

Authoritarianism is the personality trait most commonly associated with high levels of prejudice in adults. Defined simply, it is the tendency to follow the wishes of powerful others without thinking critically. Authoritarians have little tolerance for those whom they perceive to be different from themselves in race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or political values. Both traditional and contemporary psychologists have characterized authoritarians as politically conservative and averse to progressive thinking. Their high levels of prejudice are an expression of their right-wing political attitudes and their hostility toward those who disagree. Conservatives, on the other hand, argue that many liberals (particularly those in academic fields) have adopted a norm of “political correctness” leading them to be prejudiced and hostile in their own right.

With which side do you agree? Is it true that authoritarian intolerance is a hallmark ONLY of political conservatism? Or, do conservatives have a point: Can people who are politically liberal be equally authoritarian, intolerant, and prejudiced?n this module, several psychological disorders were introduced. For this assignment, you will write a short (500-750 words) paper describing three psychological disorders. Please analyze the treatment options for each, as well as how these disorders were treated historically. Use your textbook and other academic sources to support your claims. Explain why you chose to write about these three disorders for the assignment. The paper should be in APA style, using 12-point Times New Roman font and double spaced. Please refer to the rubric for detailed grading expectations.
