SUPPLEMENTAL ASSIGNMENT 1 INSTRUCTIONS
In Blackboard, in the Reading & Study folder for Module/Week 6, you will find 2 articles:
1. The Transition from Middle School to High School as a Developmental Process Among Latino Youth
2. The Role of Spiritual Development in the Cross-Cultural Reentry Adjustment of Missionaries
Read both articles and write a brief annotated bibliography in current APA format. An annotated bibliography can be a summary, assessment, or personal reflection of a journal article you have used as a source. For this assignment, you will provide 1 paragraph of ‘personal reflection’ for each source. Each paragraph must have at least 4 sentences, but no more than 8. Provide a title page and 1–2 pages of text. Follow the sample below (Note: the sample is for a ‘summary’ and not a ‘personal reflection,’ which you will be writing):
Furrow, J. L., & Palmer, G. (2007). Emotion focused family therapy and blended families: Building bonds from the inside out. Journal of Systemic Therapies, 26 (4), 44–58.
doi: 10.1521/jsyt.2007.26.4.44
Furrow and Palmer highlight the use of emotion focused family therapy in dealing with sensitive issues often found in individuals from blended families. This approach uses
evocative interventions (the prompting of vivid memories or images of things not present, especially things from the past to promote a deeper level of emotional processing). This enables family members to connect their primary emotional experiences (e.g., fear of abandonment or rejection) with corresponding attachment related needs (e.g., reassurance, support, and acceptance). Overall, the techniques of the approach are useful, leaving it to the practitioner to incorporate the biblical piece in assisting individuals struggling with this issue.

Abstract
The transition from middle school to high school is an important developmental period to investigate because of the negative impact it has on youths’ academics. The purpose of this study was to investigate Latino youths’ academic achievement prior to, during, and after the transition to high school, and gender differences in youths’ achievement over time. School transcripts were obtained for 92 youth. Three latent growth curve models were tested. Youth were stable in achievement throughout middle school, declined in grades during the transition, yet remained stable in high school. Youth with higher achievement in fall of eighth grade declined in the transition at a faster rate than youth who held lower achievement. Girls held higher levels of achievement across each stage in development; boys and girls differed in high school trajectories. Policy makers interested in fostering a successful transition should create programs for both high- and low-achieving Latino youth.
