Assignment Instructions
Create an 8-12 slide presentation on cognitive and physical development from ages 0-2. The slide count does not include the title and reference slide, so the presentation should be set up as follows: a title slide, 8-12 content slides, a reference slide. The presentation should include the following:
- A description of the stages of cognitive development from ages 0-2. Be sure to address the brain and the nervous system.
- A description of the stages of physical development from ages 0-2. Be sure to address the development of the brain and nervous system.
- Your reference slide should include at least 2 APA formatted references (the book and at least one outside source). The references should also be cited in proper APA format in the speaker notes where used. Simply adding the website or url for your source is not proper APA formatting.

Presentation with Speaker Notes
Create your presentation with a minimum of 50 words of speaker notes per content slide. Any non-original content included in speaker notes must include in-text citations.
Please note: Each content slide should consist of 5-7 bullet points of content with additional explanation and support included in the speaker notes that represent what would be said if you were giving the presentation to an audience. The speaker notes should either be added to the speaker note section, see the sample presentation, or listed on a separate Word document. Be sure to download the sample presentation so you can see the speaker notes example.
Save your presentation as a PDF and submit it as a PDF instead of a PPT or PPTx file so that the instructor can easily view your speaker notes. If the presentation is not submitted as a PDF with speaker notes visible, points will be deducted. Here are some resources if you need assistance with this:
