Essay sections:
1. Introduction: in-depth description of the TED talk you selected (https://www.ted.com/talks/kimberly_noble_how_does_income_affect_childhood_brain_development) . Add depth to this introduction by consulting other documents (e.g., books) on the topic that go beyond the talk and your textbook.
2. Critical Analysis: In-depth comparison of the similarities and differences between the ideas presented and what you have learned and researched about child development. To do so, it is best to break down the talk as a series of ideas or components.
Analyze each idea/component by assessing:
a. its theoretical standpoint(s) or its view of children;
b. what aspects of development are examined and why (e.g., cognition, learning, emotion, environment, family);
c. evidence in support of the view(s) presented;
d. and make insightful criticisms (positive and/or negative) about each component.
3. Conclusion:
a. Concluding statements about the ideas analyzed.
b. What questions, theoretical or applied, need to be addressed next? Be specific.
