Option 1: Personal Integration Paper and Presentation:
Write an autobiography (1,750– to 2,250-words) in which you describe your own developmental path and your relationship with the particular topic you have chosen, reflecting on your own cognitive, physical, cultural, socioemotional, and spiritual journey through the present.
Use course material as you integrate your personal journey with some of the theoretical perspectives we have addressed in the course.
Prepare a 5-minute recorded presentation in which you summarize your autobiography.
