 * ** Starting Out – Beginning and Becoming (The Past and the Present; Triumphs and Trials; Discovery and Disillusionment; Relationships with Family and Others; Celebrations and Rites of Passage)**

As we journey on the road of life, we learn about ourselves, others, and the natural and constructed worlds. Childhood and youth lay the foundation for life, for learning and experiencing, for developing personal volition, for shaping identity and sense of self, and for health and well-being. The paths of childhood and youth are not the same for all, however. For some children and youth, it is a time of wonder, imagination, inquiry, discovery, play, experimentation, and innocence; for others, it is a time of neglect, abandonment, abuse, disillusionment, pain, exploitation, and innocence destroyed. Through relationships with the social, natural, and spiritual worlds, children and youth establish their identities among family members, caregivers, friends, peers, and others. Every culture celebrates or recognizes significant developments or rites of passage in children and adolescents; these milestones may be acknowledged formally or informally. Although the roles of, and attitudes about, children and youth have developed over time and varied across cultures, by examining the complex nature of childhood and youth, we have the opportunity to understand how childhood and youth contribute to who we are and who we would like to be. || ** Moving Forward – Establishing and Realizing (Turning Points and Transitions; Evolving Roles and Responsibilities; Opportunities and Obstacles; Risks and Rewards; Beliefs and Goals)**

As the journey of life unfolds, young adults consider the many paths that they might forge and explore. Along the path are turning points and transitions that result in growth and transformation, new and altered roles, and different responsibilities (personal, family, academic, career, social). Adults, as they mature and age, confront the complexities of changing identities and expectations. The opportunities and obstacles encountered shape the realization of the present and the achievements of the future with dreams fulfilled, dreams deferred, and dreams denied. Defining fulfillment and wholeness and searching for them determine the risks that adults take for the rewards they seek and the gifts they receive; but every risk presents the possibility of either achievement or failure. Adulthood is not a destination; it is a dynamic reality that compels individuals to re-evaluate their beliefs, goals, and dreams on the road to self-discovery, self-awareness, and self-determination. As they journey and reconsider their values and aspirations, adults may veer from the path that they initially chose. In exploring a variety of texts, students are presented with opportunities to investigate the complexities and dynamics of adult experiences through fictional characters and historical and contemporary individuals. Examining these experiences allows us to identify and consider our dreams and goals, and to chart the course to reach our destinations. ||  || * Details [|Cartoon summary]
