A stamp indicates you completed your portion of this activity, you were in class, and
were ready to discuss it. Incomplete activities will not be stamped. Please choose the
topics in each chapter you feel are most important for you personally to remember.
Stamps are not given before or after the class period it is being discussed.
Stamps indicate you have completed the preparation. It is not a grade.
Activities without a stamp will not be graded, and receive no points.
Do not hand in activities without a stamp. Doing so reduces your score 3 pts. @
Class folders are handed in and graded at the end of the quarter.
If folders are lost, you do not have the stamped activity, so you will receive no
points for the missing stamped activities. I suggest you make a paper copy
(with the stamp) and keep the original in a safe place.
Grading is based on:
1. Does each section have a complete answer?
2. Is it at least one page (with one inch margins)?
3. Does it appear significant thought was put into your answer?
4. Each section receives a maximum of 5 points, for a total of 50 points.
Objective:
The idea of this folder is to let you think about (1) where you are in your own
lifespan, (2) what information will be useful with your own children, (3) what will be
helpful in your present stage of life, and (4) what challenges you will meet as you grow
older. My fantasy is that you will keep this, and refer to it as you go through different
stages of life. Perhaps you will find it in a box when you are 80 years old, and look back
on where you were today, and what happened in your life.
Number of topics:
Chose at least two topics to discuss for one half a page each (one inch margins), for a
total of one page. If you prefer to discuss more topics, with less per topic, to create your
one page, you may do so.
How to find a topic:
Look at the chapter diagrams, power points, “Do you remember?” questions, study guide
questions, and the text to find topics that may affect you.
While you are free to use any topic in that part, I believe you will find more opportunities
in the Psychosocial chapters.
It is best to think about this while you are studying or listening to the video lectures.
How to discuss the topic:
Look to the lecture videos, dictionary, your text, or the internet to tell me about the topic
you are discussing (e.g. ), or give examples of items that may be more difficult to define
(e.g.). Include why it is important, possibly compare and contrast it with other topics, or
discuss how it fits into other topics in this part.
How to apply the topic:
1. Think about your daily life, job, money, family, religion, friends, attitudes, values,
beliefs, feelings, news reports, and other topics that may affect you either, “When I have
a preschooler…”, or “When I reach old age…”, or ‘As an early adult…”.
2. Think about how you would handle these situations.
3. You may use hypothetical situations, such as, “When I have children I would …”.
4. You may look to the future, such as, “In the future I expect I will … because…”.
How to create critical thinking questions:
1. These questions may be based on any topics in these chapters.
They do not need to be based on the same topic you discussed above.
2. Think about questions that compare or contrast two items.
3. Think about other possibilities or explanations for the same thing.
4. Think about opposing perspectives or views to consider.
How to answer why this is a good critical thinking question:
1. Explain which item above it is based on, or how it creates more in depth thinking.
