You have been invited to speak at a community event to promote awareness of children’s health and physical activity.  For this assignment, you will create a presentation to educate the parents/families and other community members using factual evidence and examples to provide a sound argument for the inclusion of health and physical education classes within the schools.  In your presentation:

1. Describe stages of motor development for young children.
2. Discuss the importance of physical activity for the developing child and provide examples.
3. Discuss the impact that families and the community can have on children’s health and physical activity.
4. Identify at least three examples of physical activities and at least three examples of healthy eating practices that families can implement at home.
5. Identify at least three local resources for families to make healthy lifestyle choices within your own community (e.g. a local 5K race, farmer’s market, sports programs, drug rehabilitation).

Other requirements:

1. Include evidence from two to three outside sources that support the relationship between regular physical activity and children’s health.
2. Use at least three graphics (pictures, clipart, chart, table, etc.) to support your presentation.

You may write a three- to four-page paper (excluding the title and reference page), but you are encouraged to present your information using other creative means like a three- to five-minute video or an eight- to ten-slide PowerPoint presentation or another web-based presentation tool like Prezi (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., Jing (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., or Brainshark (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. Your assignment must be in APA format.

Carefully review the Grading Rubric (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.

Access and complete the Learning Styles Inventory

Prepare and submit a 7- to 10-slide PowerPoint.

You will be graded on your completion of the following within your PowerPoint:

1. Identify the strengths of your learning style.
2. Compare these strengths to your personality type.
3. How do these strengths help communication in your relationships with others, i.e., at work, home, school.
4. Describe two challenges you may have with different personalities and learning styles in the way you communicate with others. What strategies can you use to improve these challenges?

While GCU style format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using GCU formatting guidelines, which can be found in the GCU Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. Use two to three references from our readings or videos to support your work.  You must provide in-text citations within your writing, as well as a properly formatted reference slide.

For this assignment, you’ll write three limericks about neuroscience.  A limerick is a miniature poem. Here’s an example, about neuroplasticity:

It’s a fortunate person whose brain
Is trained early, again and again,
And who continues to use it
To be sure not to lose it,
So the brain, in old age, may not wane.

(in Rosenzweig & Bennett (1996). Behavioral Brain Research, 78, 57-65)

Each of your three limericks should be five lines long, and should obey the conventional limerick rhyming structure (AABBA; the first, second, and fifth lines should rhyme with each other, and the third and fourth should rhyme as well).  Usually the first, second, and fifth lines are a little longer than the third and fourth lines.

One of your limericks should be about neurons, one of your limericks should be about a neurotransmitter of your choice, and one of your limericks should be about a brain structure, region, or lobe of your choice.  Your limericks should each present accurate and thoughtful descriptions of their biological functions, and their role in psychology.

Your submission, like all reflection assignments, will be graded according to the following rubric:

• ONE POINT: Consistently addresses assignment instructions with irrelevant information, ignores instructions, or provides superficial, incomplete, or unwarranted responses to the instructions.
• TWO POINTS: Mostly addresses the assignment instructions, but includes misinterpretations of evidence, faulty conclusions, or presents claims that are not consistent.  Two points will be given if the submission is reasonably complete, but still appears to have been given minimal thought and critical analysis.
• THREE POINTS: Consistently addresses the assignment instructions with accurate interpretations of evidence, identifies the most important aspects of the topic, and presents conclusions that demonstrate thoughtful analysis and evaluation.

Your limericks must be written originally, by you.  Submissions will be processed through TurnItIn.com to ensure their originality.
