Read at least three articles in a professional periodical (published between 1910 and 1970), discussing children/youth/parenting, and write an essay (6-10 pages) in which you analyze the articles in terms of the time. Your secondary source reference for the paper is Hucks Raft and any Panopto lectures that prove useful to you. You must refer to specific pages in course text. Possible periodicals available via JSTOR from Libraries homepage include: American Journal of Psychology, Child Development, The School Review, Art Education, Child Development, The Elementary School Teacher, The High School Journal, Journal of Educational Research. There are other journals having to do with criminal justice, which you might choose; and other databases may have other journals. The idea is: the twentieth century is the century of the expert. What do the experts in a particular field have to say about children/youth? Do not use the articles as “sources” of information; instead, analyze the articles’ information/assumptions in terms of the time.
On your paper in a works cited page, indicate the collection in which the periodical appears and all library information necessary to locate it (the works cited page is not part of the 6-page minimum text).
