Final Project Outline

In Week 1, you were asked to review the Final Project Guidelines and begin thinking about your timeline (Part 1) for the Final Project. Consider what you have learned so far in this course and how you can use theory to support your understanding of identity development. How do your experiences align with theory you have learned? What new insights have you gained? As you move forward, be sure to identify salient elements of developmental theories and how these align with your life experiences.

For this Assignment, you are asked to provide a basic outline for your final project. Identify the six life events that you will use for your final project. Remember that at least one of each must have occurred in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. For each event, briefly identify (2–3 sentences each) why this event was significant in your development.

Note: Although you must support your work with integration of developmental theory in the final submitted project, this is not necessary for this Assignment.
