· Explain the person’s life in terms of nature/nurture influences.

For this Final Project Assignment, you will complete a 6- to 8-page paper (including Parts 1 and 2), not including title page and references. You will incorporate and finalize the feedback you received from your Instructor on Part 1, and prepare your Final Project for submission.

For each of the following, explain the development and outcomes of the person’s life in terms of the appropriate constructs, processes, and theories of development. Address as many of the ages and stages as possible and that are relevant.

· Explain the person’s life in terms of nature/nurture influences.

· Provide an analysis of the role cognitive, physical, and social-emotional development/changes played in the person’s life. Note: You must select two of the three processes to include in your paper.

· Include at least one theory that is relevant in describing the individual’s development.

· Explain major developmental events, phases, and turning points in the person’s life, with developmental theories that best explain each. Include a brief description of each developmental theory and use as many as is fitting. You must include at least two theories from this course in your Final Project Assignment.

· Explain the impact of diversity* on the person’s life (success, lack of success, struggles, challenges, decisions, etc.).

*Diversity includes characteristics and factors such as gender, race, ethnicity, culture, socioeconomic status, religion, sexual orientation, and physical ability. Diversity characteristics are distinct from adversity, which refers to hardship or misfortune.

Some Notes to help with paper: Paula – I enjoyed reading PART 1 of your paper focusing on Oprah Winfrey. Below, I’ve included some feedback that you should focus on not only to improve PART 1 of the paper, but to consider when writing PART 2 which is due in week 10 of the course. Don’t forget to read the Grading Rubric for the paper in the “Course Information” section of the classroom. Also, the score for this is a zero, but please don’t be concerned; it’s not graded (though, it is a requirement – see the classroom).

— Transitions: Work to make sure that you include transitions between each of your paragraphs. This would help the reader better follow the flow of your argument.

— Headings: Use headings in your paper to mark each major section of the paper. One heading might read “Cognitive Development” and another might be “Physical Development” (you don’t have to use these specific headings; use headings that make sense for the organization of your paper).

— Grammar: You have some grammatical mistakes in the paper. I strongly recommend reading the paper carefully and addressing the errors. Just one example:

Oprah Winfrey family and environmental experienced through the stories she tells show

how much the family and environmental experiences have influenced her.

FYI: You repeat yourself in the first paragraph…

— Literature: One of the biggest issues with your paper, Paula, is that information from the professional literature and textbook needs to be more thoroughly integrated. This is VERY important and something I think you’d benefit from focusing on for the next draft. As written in the announcement about the paper I asked the class to read: “Bottom line: THOROUGHLY integrate information from your learning sources AND textbook. If the majority of your paper is merely your analysis of the biography with little substantive integration of information from your sources, the paper is unlikely to earn the kind of grade you want.”

Be sure you incorporate several sources from the developmental literature (aim to integrate information from at least 10 scholarly sources in addition to the biography) into your paper.

Look up some scholarly articles in PsychInfo database and/or integrate some from the classroom we’ve discussed this term (just be sure to go beyond internet sources and videos, of course). Here are some examples of papers you could draw upon that come from the course Learning Resources (in not particular order):

— Paragraph structure: Read every paragraph and ask yourself whether each has a topic sentence (it should) and all of the other sentences support that topic sentence.

— Constructs: I suggest more thoroughly discussing some of the constructs we’ve been discussing in class and apply them. For example, there’s room to discuss nature and nurture in a more nuanced fashion and integrating information from some of the sources you have in the classroom (e.g., Pinker, S. (2004). Why nature and nurture won’t go away. Daedalus, 133(4), 5–17.; Meyer, D., Wood, S., & Stanley, B. (2013). Nurture is nature: Integrating brain development, systems theory, and attachment theory. The Family Journal, 21(2), 162–169.

— Elaborate: There are some areas of your paper that need to be further developed. For example, can you go into more details about her physical development? The minimum for this part of the paper was 3-4 pages, but your paper was significantly less; there’s room to elaborate on your ideas and the literature

I uploaded the part on of my assignment to use for part 2
