Do not attempt to cover every aspect of development and risk.Rather, select a few connected points upon which to focus your presentation anddevelop these points with supportive details. Use content from the text bookand Lesson 11 materials to support the information in your presentation. Citeall sources appropriately.Step 2: Research and compile anannotated Resource Guide for parents and adolescents. Once you have designed a focused,detailed presentation on adolescent development, risk, and interventionstrategies for an audience of parents, compile an annotated resource guide forparents and adolescents based on the specific topics addressed in yourpresentation.Begin by conducting informalInternet research on the topics that you address in your presentation. Forinstance, if you discuss eating disorders, research to find support servicesand intervention strategies for adolescent children who struggle with thischallenge. Your goal is to find at least five sources of information andsupport that you can compile and annotate for parents and adolescents.Once you have located five helpful,applicable resources, cite each one appropriately so that parents andadolescents will know how to locate the resource. After each resource citation,provide a brief 3-5 sentence annotation (summary) of what the resource is andhow it is useful for parents and adolescent children who experience aparticular life challenge.
