Clear label and landmarks for referencing
Maps tell clearer story than writing

2:OLDER, YOUNG/MIDDLE ADULTHOOD EXPERIENCES

Order Description

Interview two (2) older adults from different age cohorts; i.e. young-old; old-old; or oldest-old. For the purposes of this course older adult always means 65 years of age or older. The older adults may be found in your family, church, a social group or the senior center. These adults must be able to answer the questions that you are required to address in your paper. As aging is unique to each individual, assess chronological age, physiological changes, health status, psychological well-being, socioeconomic class, ethnic minority status, and living experiences.
Grading will be based on the following criteria.

Write no more than a ten (10) page typed paper comparing and contrasting the 2 older adults interviewed. Present all of the information from the first interviewee; follow with the second interviewee. The final section should be the summary. The paper should be typed in Microsoft Word, double-spaced, in narrative format, and submitted by attachment to your assignment located in Blackboard. Correct grammar and spelling are expected.
