Assignment Type Case Study
Purpose: The purpose of this case study is to integrate the understanding of two developmental theories with a practical example. Within this integration is an identification, analsysis and evaluation of major life themes with the inclusion of strengths and challenges faced by a fictional character.
Process:
Select a character presented in a book, television or film at a major life transition (leaving home, wedding, parenthood, retirement) and briefly summarise the context in which the character becomes known.
Write a case study that summarises the major life themes identified in the book, television or film, and apply theories of development to analyse the life stage, the strengths and challenges faced by the character, using two developmental theories presented in this unit (other than those applied in Assignment 1. Please also refer to the list of Developmental Theorists in Assignment 1 when choosing the two developmental theories for this assignment). Draw on a range of unit and other relevant references.
Your Case Study will need to address:
• Case study written and is inclusive of the naming of major life themes in the chosen source
• Identification of the chosen character with a brief summary of the context in which the character is introduced
• Identification of key aspects of each of the two major developmental theories and application of these theories to an analysis of the life stages of the character, including the strengths and challenges faced by the character

There are also significant detail about the actions of the suspects, timing for the start of the fire, and so on.

resources should be taken from fire investigation textbooks, research of news articles from the UK press, and journals.

try to use scientific terms while explaining.

A Suggested Format for Your Literature Review

1) Statements of the problem(s):
This part usually makes clear what the problems are. For example, students’ inability of dealing with expository texts, or students with less exposure to print before they come to school requiring more attention from teachers to keep up.
The description of the problem should be as detailed as possible. Usually some literature would be cited to support your argument about the existence of the problem(s). Your classroom experience can also be used as part of the description.
The length varies. I think one or two paragraphs of about 200 words might be a good one for this class.

2) Methodology
This section will focus on how you go about identifying and collecting the literature and how decide on using which ones from your search that has identified literature. In particular, you may want to pay attention to the issues of reliability and manageability. You need to set up the criteria through which identification of literature is accomplished. Usually in identifying scholarly literature, you will describe how you locate it, make decisions to include it, and rationales for its sufficiency on the topic.

3) Results and discussions
This section summarizes the results of your literature review and organizes your interpretations of the results. You need to present convincing evidence to illustrate that the arguments you are advancing to summarize the literature are valid or make sense. Usually a themed approach is the best way to synthesize literature on a topic. Do not report the results simply as annotated bibliography. In addition, your interpretations would usually have practical implications for teachers, which you should state clearly.

4) Conclusions
You need to conclude by pointing out the limitations of your literature review and the directions of possible future literature reviews on the topic.

5) References
This serves as a separate entity from the paper proper. Use APA style for reference list.
