1,  Write down what you found interesting from each of the clips your watched (include detail).

3.  Finally connect the ideas from these clips to at least 3 ideas (give detail- put everything into your own words) from the text  (it could be anything that you think connects, like puberty, abstract thinking, identity, parenting, culture…). Again- be sure to include detailed information from the text/PPs (using your own words) and from the clips for this part of the assignment. (20 pts.)
