Curfew Persuasion Video
Purpose:
In this assignment, you get to revisit early adolescence and work on your acting skills! Imagine yourself at about 13 years old… you want your parents to extend your curfew, but convincing them to do so is really challenging! It’s been the source of several arguments and now your parents have tasked you with needing to prove to them that you, as a developing adolescent, should be given this privilege.
Write a script that will persuade your parents to extend your curfew. Your script may be written out in its entirety, or it may be bullet points. You should include at least two scholarly journal articles in addition to your textbook, to support your arguments because they will help you to convince your skeptical parents.
Be sure to touch on all of the following to develop a thorough and persuasive argument for your case.
What physical, cognitive, behavioral and emotional milestones reached during adolescence should be considered when determining an appropriate curfew?
How does moral development play a role in your reasoning?
What are the benefits of extending an adolescent’s curfew?
What are the drawbacks of extending an adolescent’s curfew?
How do family relationships change during adolescence? What impact do these changes have on the curfew decision?
Should parents change the way that they parent an adolescent?
What psychological theories support your argument? Identify at least 3 that support your argument.
