CLA 1 Comprehensive learning Assessment
Listen to and analyze adolescents’ radio diaries. Access the National Public Radio’s Teenage Diaries website (http://www.radiodiaries.org/tag/teenage-diaries/). Choose one diary to listen to. After listening, use the comprehensive learning assessment guidelines detailed in this syllabus to:
Compare the teenager’s experience to the textbook information from Chapters 8 and 9.
o In particular, where is the teenager in terms of identity development?
o Is the teen showing any signs of the dark side of adolescence (e.g., drug use, depression, or delinquency)?
o What is his or her work and social life like?
Discuss what you have learned and what areas of research about adolescence you would like to see expanded and/or conducted.
