We have learned about a lot of things that people can (and arguably should) do for their children, as well as things that they should not do.  For your first writing assignment I am asking you to identify and discuss three things that can be done to help children (conception through the end of adolescence) develop in a beneficial way.  You will choose 3 items that we covered from chapter 2 through 10 (items do not have to be from the same chapters or on the same topics).

Please read the prompt for more specific details as well as the sample essay for an example of what I am expecting of you.  If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to reach out and ask!  If you start early, I am also happy to review drafts of your paper and give you some basic feedback that can help improve your overall score.  So don’t wait too long, the earlier you start the better! 🙂

Video explaining the assignment:

NOTE:

1) This is not a traditional essay.  Make sure to follow the format indicated in the prompt/sample/video.  There are 10 points for organization/grammar, you will lose all 10 if you do not follow the proper format.
2) No quotes are allowed.  You must paraphrase everything into your own words.  Be very mindful of plagiarism, as it will result in an automatic zero on the assignment.  If this occurs, you cannot redo the assignment or make it up, so be very careful.
