You will first pick one topic from the options below. Topics correspond with sections of Chapter 4 of the textbook. Once you have decided on your topic, post a discussion forum response indicating the topic you choose. I prefer that students do not do the same topic as a classmate, so it will be on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please check the discussion forum to make sure your topic has not already been claime.

For this A&D, you will present on a topic from Chapter 4. You
will first
pick one topic from the options below.
Topics correspond with sections of Chapter 4 of the
textbook. Once you have decided on your topic,
post a discussion forum response indicating the topic
you choose. I prefer that students do not do the same topic as a
classmate, so it will be on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please
check the discussion forum to make sure your topic has not
already been claimed. If all topics have been claimed, a topic
may be duplicated only once.
Topic:
Infancy and Childhood: Cognitive Development - Preoperational
Stage
Sum of ratings: -
Next, you will
prepare one or two PowerPoint slides on your topic. In
considering what materials you should include on the slides,
think about what would be most meaningful to your classmates.
You may pull out the most important themes of your topic and
discuss those, show a short video, include pictures, etc. I would

5. like each person to indicate significant events that happen in a
human’s life and when they occurred (e.g., 9 weeks - become a
fetus; 8 months – stranger anxiety; 11-13 – puberty; 65 – late
adulthood).
Use the textbook as your main resource.
After creating the PowerPoint slide(s), I'd like you to
audio record (video is fine too) your presentation.
