This document outlines an elderly project that requires students to work in groups to visit elderly people, explore issues they face, and make a positive impact on elderly lives. Students will find a journal article on the elderly, summarize it, and evaluate their group work. They will watch a video on age concerns, answer questions, and reflect on topics like loneliness, ageism, and pensions. The goal is for students to gain understanding of the elderly experience and identify ways to help elderly people.
