Assignment: Book Report:

This assignment has several components. First, read Benson's book. Next, read Chekoway's book. Write a summary of key points from both Benson's and Checkoway's books by; identifying key points, application to your chosen career area within RTM, and connection to issues "in the news" in Los Angeles or other communities. Thirdly, relate wat you read in the two books to 40 Developmental Assets for Youth, and discuss inclusion of children and youth with special needs (cognitive, psychomotor, etc.), as well as socio-economic challenges. How do professionals in our field have the opportunity to change lives? How will you when employed in parks, recreation, hospitality, and tourism? How would an intergenerational, cross-cultural approach enhance the efficacy (successful implementation) of your recommended programmatic "solutions"? Think of yourself as a professional employed in the community asked to report on how the issue is being addressed. Research and incorporate current events in communities throughout the US and around the world. These will impact security, police action individual choices of how to use public places in daily activities, tourism, hospitality or when attending large events.

Check other relevant websites, particularly of community-based youth-serving organizations. APA provides formats for citing such sources.
Research and report the response and actual or potential role of local RTM professionals? Were any special events or accommodations provided? Were various aspects of our profession involved? Which community assets were called upon? Which assets were not, but could have been accessed? Did the strategies employed reflect Benson's thinking and the use of asset-based best practices?

Organize the paper and supporting sources in a logical manner. Minimum 7 pages, not including reference page (s). Be sure to incorporate in-text citations.

REMEMBER: Course assignments are about your learning, research and integration of material. The instructor has provided background information to trigger your imagination and thinking.
