Communication Project: Final Assignment Instructions

Overview

For this assignment, you will submit a creative project focusing on the communication of a major content area covered in the course to a hypothetical layperson audience (e.g., adolescents, parents, teachers). You must communicate the material in a creative/engaging way (e.g., PowerPoint presentation, website, pamphlet, YouTube video/PSA) and demonstrate an ability to summarize academic material for a non-academic audience. This is an important skill in various professional roles. You are encouraged to get creative and have fun with this project, so do not feel confined to the format examples listed above.

Instructions

Because you have some creative freedom of your work, your final projects are likely to vary considerably, but requirements for full credit are listed below:

1. Your project must clearly communicate course content in a way that would be understandable to the intended audience. Be sure to explicitly state your intended audience in your project.

2. Your project must include the use of at least 2 academic references.

· One source must be a course reading.

· One source must be an outside academic source not included in module readings (academic books or peer-reviewed articles only) that has been published within the last seven years. Articles from newspapers, magazines, websites, and dissertation/thesis databases may not be used.

· The sources must be integrated into your project somehow (e.g., citations in a pamphlet/presentation, verbally citing sources in a video).

3. Your project must include an APA-style reference page listing your cited sources in current APA format. This can be included as a separate page/document or added on to the end of your project (e.g., a reference slide in a PowerPoint presentation).

Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.

 The chapter in this book provides a comprehensive look at the role of religion and

spirituality in adolescent development. It delves into how these elements profoundly

influence various aspects of an adolescent's life, including their moral and ethical values,

identity formation, and overall well-being. It highlights how religious teachings and

practices can guide adolescents in developing a sense of purpose, ethical frameworks, and

a community-centric worldview. The importance of understanding and respecting diverse

religious practices is also emphasized, as this can greatly impact the social and emotional

development of adolescents in a multicultural society.
