Adult development and Aging: Positive and Negative aspects of Cognitive Development, and Lifestyle Changes .
Introduction: As we age our emotional, physical, cognitive, development and perspectives change. As Americans we are socialized to have negative views of aging. These common stereotypes influence the ways that senior citizens are treated by others, as well as the way they view themselves. Your team will have a medical doctor, a psychologist, and a journalist. The following questions will need to be answered:
* What are some typical stereotypes about senior citizens?
* How do these stereotypes affect the way senior citizens view themselves?
* What are some physical changes that occur as a person ages? Are these changes effects of environmental or from lifestyle choices, or could they be genetic?

Hi Maggi,
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure that I understand what this task is about.
If your quest is about "Aging" then decide which points of view you would like to students to analyze, then give them specific questions that they would answer. For example, a caretaker/doctor/family member. Each one has different points of view on dealing with "aging". Write questions that they would be able to answer if they use resources that you find for them.
Please complete this by Tuesday, March 31. Also look at other blogs.

Um... Well, I love this idea - I wanted to take a class in this, and then I never got to, and I'm sure it would make a fascinating WebQuest; I'd love to look at the links once they're here. But it looks like you forgot to copy-paste or something here, there's only a title...
ReplyDeleteHey
ReplyDeleteUm Yeah I like the intro but i think that there needs to be more of a task. Sorry I overlooked that when I was trying to help you :( . Just an idea but I remember that (in terms of stereotypes of the elderly) that nurses in that field don't last long ( for patient abuse issues). I don't know if we are allowed to use videos as part of the webquest but if we could I know there are news clips on youtube.
You are definitely allowed to use video clips for your quests, blogs, webpage, etc.

Maggi,
ReplyDeleteSince you changed the topic of your webquest, could you outline it briefly in a blog? I would need working links, an Intro/Task/Process/ and Standards.
