MILESTONE 06 OVERVIEW-EARLY ADULTHOOD

In this course, students are required to complete a Timeline Project applying the information and theories learned over the term to one’s own life. The focus of this paper is on the ages from 25 to 45; early adulthood.

DIRECTIONS

By this time students should have reviewed the Projects tab under modules to familiarize themselves with the project and requirements for each section. If students need to refresh themselves on the project, the Timeline Project Overview and Instructions have been provided as an attachment.

Students should submit their papers by Wednesday before 11:55 p.m. so that their peers have sufficient time to provide quality feedback to them before Sunday at 11:55 p.m. Peers are required to review at least two papers besides their own during this exercise. The instructor has attached a checklist that is used for grading purposes on the final paper. When using the checklist be sure to use the section that is applicable to the time period covered in the milestone.

For this sixth milestone, students should write about their Early Adulthood years. Be sure to:

1. What career did you/will you pursue?
2. At what age did you/will you marry?
3. Did you/will you have children?
4. Will you return to the workforce or become a full-time parent?

Furthermore, when writing this section, think about what you have learned about human development through this course including the theories that pertain to this time of development. Below students will find a list of questions to consider while writing each developmental period and a chart showing some of the theorists and the area of development in which they focused. Keep in mind that more than one theorist or theory may be applicable to a particular time period and the instructor requires students to apply at least three theories to each stage of life.

QUESTIONS TO PONDER:

1. How has heredity and genetics played a role in your life?
2. How have the decisions of your parents affected your life?
3. How have your experiences shaped your development/life?
4. How has your personality played a part in your life experiences?
5. How do you think it will play out in the future?
