Assessment Description

Select an article that discusses a topic relevant to childhood development. This article can focus on a physical, cognitive, or socioemotional aspect of childhood development. You can explore topics in the textbook if you are having trouble determining a topic.

In 500-750 words, do the following:

1. Summarize the major tenets of the article.
2. Discuss a psychological theory that applies to the topic selected and describe how it relates.
3. Discuss your personal reaction to the article. The length of the personal reaction should match that of the major tenets (no short “I enjoyed this article” responses). Describe specifically what you liked or did not like about the article and explain why you believe that way.

Use two to three scholarly resources to support your explanations.
