The Paper:
Students will choose a person of interest. This person may include a famous actor or actress, a serial killer, a career criminal, or a historical figure. Professor approval is required for the “person of interest”.
Students choose a researcher from the text such as Piaget, Erikson, or Freud. Students may select any researcher on the text.
Students will examine their “person of interest” and report on each stage of development. (see explanation video)
Students will then research each stage of development for the “person of interest”.
Students will then examine which stage of development altered the life of the “person of interest” and how their life outcome resulted from this change. For example, Jeffrey Dahmer was subjected to an abusive father and learned to destroy bones at twelve.
Determine which stage of development was altered and why?
