This paper is the first option of two for the Final Project. The second option is the Healthy Aging Care Plan (please choose one option, do not submit both).
A Life review is a naturally occurring, universal process consisting of reminiscence, thinking about oneself, and a reconsideration of previous life experiences and their meaning. Choosing this option means you will be doing a Life Review of an older adult (preferably someone 30 years your senior), by interviewing them. This Life Review assignment can be done with a family member, a loved one, a friend etc. DO NOT ASK SOMEONE YOU DO NOT TRUST; I DO NOT WANT YOU UNCOMFORTABLE OR IN A COMPRIMISING SITUATION. Ultimately, I would love for you to interview someone you have a connection with and someone you would like to know more about (preferably someone older than 62 years old). You are welcome to conduct the interview safely in-person, or via Zoom/ Phone call/ Face time/ Skype or any other technology you like. If finding an older adult is an issue for you, please consider interviewing your parent(s), aunts, or uncles (even if they are not 62 years old yet).
Format and Submission:
Proposal/ Script: Submissions should be made to Dropbox on BeachBoard on the date specified above. This submission must be typed in Times New Roman, size 12 font, double spaced, and in APA (7th ed.) format. The Proposal/ Script does not require a Title Page or an Abstract, and if you did not use any sources to complete this assignment, a reference page is not needed. If you did use references to complete this assignment, please cite these references using APA format, both in-text and in a reference list (even if it is just one source). I will not accept late Proposals (unless you have an excused absence such as: doctors note, documented family issue etc.-in which case, keep me in the loop). The Proposal should be in paragraph form, followed by a list of questions you plan to ask (script).Instructions on how to conceptualize / write your Life Review Paper:
Proposal/ Script (30 points, Due 12/27/22, by 11pm):
Prior to writing your Final Life Review Paper, you will need to complete and submit (via Dropbox) the “Proposal / Script”. This submission will be graded, and feedback will be provided shortly after submission. Only after this submission is graded and you receive feedback, should you start working on your interview/ paper.
Proposal (1 page): First you are required to submit a proposal of how you will complete this assignment. Compose 1 page on what you know about this person and what you hope to know or understand about this person. In addition, the Proposal should answer the following questions in paragraph format (not Q&A format):
Who are you interviewing? (Relation to you, age, gender, career, and any other demographic information you would like to include).
Where will this interview take place? (Describe the setting, place, date, and time if you have that information)
Why did you choose this person?
What have you always wondered about this person?
What is your comfort level with this assignment?
What are your concerns and what are you looking forward to in completing this assignment?
Which theory of aging do you foresee your interviewee experiencing and why? Please acquaint yourself with the theories of aging prior to the actual interview so you are prepared to assimilate the theory with the older adult (some theories are listed below).
The Script/ List of Questions (1 page): Following your proposal, on the same document, you will need to come up with a list of questions (script) that you will want to ask the older adult you are interviewing. These questions should cover the history of the person’s life from childhood to present day and capture the essence of who they are. These questions should also help you assess the older adult using a theory model (possible theories below). While developing the questions, please have in mind the theoretical approach you will use to assess the older adult.
There is not a specific number of questions you should come up with, however, a good set of questions for a paper of this caliber will round to an average of about 15 questions. The questions should be derived from our course concepts such as chronic disease, biology of aging, love and intimacy, social interactions, living arrangements, economic security, productive aging, retirement, death and dying, etc. Please stay respectful of any topic your interviewee does not want to discuss. In writing this paper, think of yourself as a qualitative researcher. Meaning, in this process you have the chance to design your research study, conduct your own case study, and later discuss its results. Your Proposal / Script is the first step to designing your case research study! These five questions are my recommendation to include, if you choose to use these questions, please come up with 10 additional questions and add to your script. If you do not want to use these questions, please use questions that span the older adults’ life from childhood to present day, any difficulties, milestones, regrets and words of wisdom/ advice.
What was your childhood like? Please give me 2 things that stand out to you when you think of your childhood?
Please tell me about your teenage years and early adulthood, were there major experiences that you recall?
What has been the most difficult time in your life so far?
If you could go back to any time in your life, when would you go back and why? What do you wish you could change about your past?
How do you feel about getting older? Do you have any advice for me as I navigate through life?
