Your  is meant to show that you not only understand the theories of learning and development presented in class, but that you can also apply them to “real” situations. You will choose a question/topic, find at least five related articles (plus one  or website allowed for explanation of the theory only), and share your findings about how your original question might be answered. In five pages (single spaced), address the following (use these headings for clarity):

Introduction [include your question/topic and its importance in ]
Background [briefly explain the theory or theorist you are addressing, reference our text as needed]
Literature Review [showing the main categories of what you found] – probably two or three sections – use a heading for each section. Note: Use APA format for the in-text citations – all your article references should be used somewhere in this section]
Summary of the Findings/Conclusion  [summarize what you found in the articles, How would you answer your original question?]
References [list of all articles (plus our text as needed) in APA format, alphabetically in order by author’s last name]
