This is a Collaborative Learning Community (CLC) assignment.

For this CLC discussion you will be analyzing the media’s portrayal of adolescence. You will need to plan your time accordingly to have this assignment done before your group assignment is due. Use the attached document “Media Portrayal of Adolescence” to begin your analysis of the media’s portrayal of adolescence. Share which show you are watching in your CLC forum so there are not multiples of the same show.  

As a group, discuss any themes you noticed and note any common themes across shows.

As a group you will develop a one page flyer or pamphlet for parents or caregivers on issues impacting adolescences. Theses should be the same issues and themes that presented themselves during your CLC discussion. Your flyer or pamphlet should contain the following:

1. Risk factors associated with the issue.
2. The prevalence of the issue.
3. Ways to prevent or treat an issue.

Use two to three scholarly resources to support your explanations.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
