Individual Assignment

For your assignment, please pick a movie and discuss a theme or themes from the movie that are relevant to our class (i.e., development across the lifespan). Your assignment should include the following sections:

• Introduction
  • What movie will you be discussing? What is the plot of the movie? What themes/constructs will you be addressing in your discussion? Please state what this assignment will attempt to accomplish. Minimum 3 pages.
• Theme(s) from the class that are depicted in the movie
  • Each theme may address some aspect of physical, cognitive or social development.
  • Discuss each theme separately using the book from the publisher’s notes as a source. Please also use at least one peer-reviewed journal as an in-text citation in APA style for this assignment. Here’s a useful website to help you practice APA style: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/18/
  • You may wish to include a theory of development as part of your discussion. For example, you may refer to Piaget, Vygotsky, Erikson, Freud, evolutionary theory etc… (see lecture 1).

  • Feel free to use subtitles for each theme and some linking sentences between sections.
• Conclusion
