Developmental stage discussion question
Before discussion, each group member should have read chapter 14, 15 & 16 and have
observed an adolescent. There are three phases of adolescence. Each group member
should observe an adolescent in each phase. The discussion report should include
responses supported by information in the textbook. Since there are several discussion
questions, a different group member should be responsible for the submission of the
written discussion each time.
1. Each group member should respond to each question. What is most challenging
about being an adolescent based on your observation and what is read in
textbook? What is the least challenging based on your observation and what is
read in the text? Which domain is most crucial in an adolescent’s academic
success? Cognitive or social and emotional? Why? If given the opportunity to
return to adolescence, would you return? Why or why not? The report should
be written so each group member’s response is identified and included.
