Development from Conception to Death in Words

Below are age groups typically found in development.   Please recreate this chart in your notebook or print this page.  For each, think of words that describe the essence of that time, such as the abilities, developmental needs, interests, or capabilities. It may help to think of a person you know from that age group and note the words that come to mind when considering that person.

Read Chapter One for Next Class

Read chapter one and take notes while you read.  Be sure to take notes on the key terms as you read.  I urge you to use a note taking method while reading.  I recommend Cornell Notes or SQ3R the next tab has supplemental resources for the suggested note taking methods.  The following chapters provide you with details on each reading method.  Please make sure to complete your reading before attempting the quiz for topic one.
