Assessment Description

This is a Collaborative Learning Community (CLC) assignment.

For this CLC assignment you will be analyzing the media’s portrayal of adolescence. You will need to plan your time accordingly to have this assignment done before your group assignment is due. Use the attached document “Media Portrayal of Adolescence” to begin your analysis of the media’s portrayal of adolescence. Share which show you are watching in your CLC forum so there are not multiples of the same show.

As a group, discuss any themes you noticed and note any common themes across shows.

As a group you will develop a one-page fyer or pamphlet for parents or caregivers on issues impacting adolescents. Theses should be the same issues and themes that presented themselves during your CLC discussion. Your fyer or pamphlet should contain the following:

1. Risk factors associated with the issue.

2. The prevalence of the issue.

3. Ways to prevent or treat the issue.

Use two to three scholarly resources to support your explanations.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. A link to the LopesWrite technical support articles is located in Class Resources if you need assistance.
