Module #1: The CHild development Project
This group presentation was on Jean Piaget's part on child development. Jean Piaget (1896-1980) was a French biologist who studied the development of children's understanding through observation. He did this by talking and listening to them while they were busy with activity. Piaget was the one who came up with the idea of the Stage of Cognitive Development.

Module #2: Prezi Presentation
After I showed the presentation to my mother, she asked me why I had to show it to her. I told her it was for a class and that I created it partially from my personal teenage view. She then wanted to see it again because she din't realize I made it myself. The second time around she said she watched it with actual meaning and payed attention to what the words said and meant. After the presentation was finished she didn't really have any questions. She did however ask me to further explain #5 (Wants and Needs). My answer, along with the slide, was a little contradicting. It was contradicting because it said that no one knows what teenagers need more than themselves, but also said that we aren't good at communicating what we need with others. Sometimes teenagers don't know what they want which makes it hard to explain to others. However, when we do know what we want, no one knows better than ourselves. She didn't really respond to my explanation which made it a little difficult to understand if she got anything from the presentation. Along with that, she thanked me for showing her the video and then told me she was thinking that after it she wasn't as great of a parent as she thought she should have been over the years.
It wasn't difficult to present to my mother the Prezi I created. The hard part was wondering if she would take everything I wrote and think as if I thought those things about our relationship. Along with that, I do not like presenting my work in general. I don't like others seeing my work because I know it is constantly being judged and isn't good enough for everyone. It made it easier that I could just give her my computer to watch the presentation and then walk away while she watched it.

Final Project: Substance- Induced Disorder
I had some complications with deleting #6, to insert the write-up for the article. So I apologize for the double up on the research and not having the write-up be next to the article.
