Do You Know? (minute paper)—Write one paragraph about learning new information and   important information you learned after reading Chapter 15 (make   sure that you cite and include page numbers).  Tell me exactly why this information   is new to you and why it is important to you.  

You have been approached by a   local community organization to develop a brochure on successful aging.    Think about four key areas you would include in the brochure that you will   create.  For example, what does it mean to age successfully? Are   perceptions of successful aging the same for everyone? Explain. What are some   characteristics of successful agers.  What resources and social supports   do elders need to age successfully? What strategies can improve health status and fitness in   older adults.
