Select a character presented in a book, television or film at a major life transition (leaving home, wedding, parenthood, retirement) and briefly summarise the context in which the character becomes known. Write a case study that summarises the major life themes identified in the book, television or film, and apply theories of development to analyse the life stage, the strengths and challenges faced by the character, using two developmental theories presented in this unit (other than those applied in Assignment 1. Please also refer to the list of Developmental Theorists in Assignment 1 when choosing the two developmental theories for this assignment). Draw on a range of unit and other relevant references. Your Case Study should include: 1. Write a case study that names the major life themes identified in the chosen source (please see below for important aspects of case studies taken from ACAP’s Learning Support website). 2. Name the chosen character with the major life transition from the book, television show or film and provide a brief summary of the context in which the character is introduced. 3. Identify key aspects of each of the two chosen developmental theories (different theories to the two chosen in Assignment 1) and apply these theories to an analysis of the life stages of the character, including the strengths and challenges faced by the character. 4. Reference current literature and integrate relevant theory into your essay discussion. Information about the writing of Case Studies A case study: should provide a description of a particular subject such as a practice, problem, scenario or situation is often based on a person or organisation provides an opportunity to demonstrate your ability to apply theory to practice should critically analyse, evaluate or review the subject using the relevant theory may be given to you in the assignment question, or you may need to develop your own case scenario
