Project: Developing Solutions
DQ: What factors prevent “normal”
development?
Timeline: 4-5 weeks
Overview:
You’ll work in teams to identify a group that
struggles with healthy development in a specific
area.
You’ll design and make a product that helps
them develop properly (collaborate with Design
class, Ms Jones)
Project Deliverable
Your “client” is a population that you identify as
having a developmental problem
Examples of developmental areas:
Biological development – unhealthy, slow growth,
infertile, malnutrition,
Language development – not on target with
speech, writing
Cognitive development – slow learner, negative
thinking, not practical
Social development – few friends, can’t relate to
people, problematic romantic patterns, lonely
Moral development – can’t tell right from wrong,
crime-prone
Identity development – no sense of purpose, low
self worth, bored with life
How have YOU changed?
Look at your school photo taken last year
How’ve you changed since then?
Physically (biologically)
Cognitively (your style of thinking, maturity)
Socially (friends, romantic relations, family,
maturity)
Morally (learning right from wrong)
