For the Week #1 Project, you need to review the early theories of human development (Freud, Erickson, and Piaget). You will look at similarities and differences, and you will review the elements of diversity among those theories. Once you review the information, you need to formulate a 2-page Microsoft Word document (NOTE: your Title Page and Reference Page are NOT part of the 2 pages, and NO Abstract is needed). Follow the items noted below:
Write your paper using APA (I have helpful tips below as well):
o Introduction
• o
▪ 5 to 7 sentences with the final sentence stating the ‘purpose of this paper is…’
▪ This paper will focus on ‘state the topic’
▪ ‘The purpose of this paper is to ‘state the assignment detail’
o Body
• o
▪ Paragraph One, two and three
▪ In 5 to 7 sentences, ‘Describe Freud theory regarding development’
▪ In 5 to 7 sentences, ‘Describe Erikson theory regarding development’

▪ General Reminder…Cite sources within the body of the paper and use a page number if
you are directly quoting
o Conclusion
• o
▪ 5 to 7 sentences restating paper content
▪ Restate what you were writing about (topic) and put in your reflections as ‘the author’ rather than ‘I’
o Reference Page
• o
▪ Use at least one source in the reference page
▪ If you use additional sources, list them alphabetically by author/researcher
