Description

or this assignment, you transform your interview notes into a narrative—that is, a life story­—of the colleague you interviewed. You interweave within this narrative an analysis of the life story by applying person and the environment concepts to your understanding and interpretation of that story. For example, you may identify a life-span development theory that, when applied to your colleague's narrative, helps you to understand his or her development and behavior at that point in the life span.
