Wednesday is "Partner Work Day"


I am giving you the entire class period on Wednesday to work with your partner on the final project:
Working with a group of other students, you will be asked to choose from a list of videos which seem to have characters that exemplify struggles typical of various life cycle stages. As a group, you will present a systematic analysis of the chosen character(s) in the video and the environmental stressors he/she encounters. You will be expected to draw upon all of the readings we have done (Ashford el al. and journal articles) which explain a person’s learning and development at this life stage. Each student will be graded separately based on his/her contribution to the work.


Hints:
1. You can use clips from the movie as part of your presentation (no Rain Man though!)
2. I would skim the last few chapters of the book to see what else is going to be covered and needs to be part of your presentation. It will avoid cram time later!

An unexcused absence from this work group will result in 5 points deduction from your final grade, plus your partner may not be too happy with you.

#2 Assignment for Work Day
2. make 4 groups (whoever/ whatever)

Answer the question:
When is it okay for Christians to get divorced?

You can use text, online sources, personal experiences or even the bible to make your point. Will discuss/ present when we get back from Spring Break. Controversy is good.
