25 Jul Education & Teaching My Timeline Child and Adolescent Development Paper
Timeline Assignment Requirements:
Your Timeline paper/assignment involves looking at yourself and your history through the lens of Child and Adolescent Development. This assignment is due in the Wrap It Up Module (see the exact due date in Canvas).
I would like you to create a timeline, starting with the day you were born and ending with the day you turned 21 (or your most recent birthday, if you are not yet 21 years old). In your timeline you should place Piaget and Erikson’s stages of development.
Starting with your birth and any important facts you know about your birth, you may then skip a year or two to significant events in your life, such as learning to walk or talk, starting school, any important things you remember like a move to a new town or an illness. Consider some of the following questions when writing your timeline:
What was your earliest memory?
What do you remember about your home and your family growing up?
What was your home like? Did your family laugh a lot? Fight a lot?
Did you have siblings? Close friends? Family friends?
What were some activities you and your family did together? Did you have dinner together? Go on bike rides or camping trips?
What was school like for you?
What do you recall about your adolescence?
Do you remember your first crush?
What was High School like?
Do you remember how you felt to graduate from High School?
I hope that this will be a thought-provoking and interesting way for you to get to know yourself better. When we look at our own histories, we can see how some of the events of our past have helped to shape who we are today. Conclude your paper with a look at how your childhood helped shape who you are today.
