Reading for Week 8 - Feb. 22

Part III: Making Sense

1. What are the further generalizations about late adolescence Hersch portrayed in this last section.
2. What conclusions does Hersch draw about adolescence?
3. How well are her conclusions supported/not support by the data in the study?
4. Write a summary of the issues of adolescence you learned from Hersch's work
5. Describe how you can apply these learnings to your teaching. How can/should the descriptions of adolescence in this book affect your decision-making as a teacher?
6. Mark 2 specific passages in the book you want to discuss, and create a question for each. Then, give a bulleted list of the kinds of information you expect to come in the discussion (in other words, as a teacher you should be creating an answer key for your questions to guide you as you facilitate discussions)
