You  will locate a recent (less than 3 years) scholarly article or case  study (not a webpage). Please be very careful with your source selection  to ensure a high caliber and quality scholarly article. 

Read  and review the article in relation to the epidemiological concepts  covered in the course readings, discussion, and lectures. 

Create a 10-12 slide PowerPoint slide presentation to share with your classmates that includes the following points –

• Slide 1: a full properly APA formatted reference for the article. Also include the library database source.
• Slides 2 & 3: A brief summary covering the key points of the article.
• Remaining Slides: How the article specifically relates to 5 points of epidemiology course content.  This could bediscussing  the type of investigation, any terminology introduced here in the  course and how used in the article, discussion of prevention strategies,  or bias.  As the header of each slide, place the course content area  that you will address on the slide.
• Final slide: 3 ways this  article benefits the practicing advance practice nurse, including the  nurse practitioner, nurse educator, and nurse administrator?

This is not a  narrative paper placed in a slide set; you are to condense this  information in to a meaningful slide set that conveys only key  information. The only reference is on the first slide.  If you use other  resources to support your information, place the reference at the  bottom of the slide it falls upon. For example, if you use Merrill to  relate to course content, cite and reference on the individual slide. 

You  will then review at least two classmates slide presentations and offer  peer review and feedback to their article presentation.  This peer  review is not a graded part of the activity, however is still expected  for participation in the course.

Designing an Art Center

For this Assignment, you will design an age appropriate art center by  completing the Unit 4 Template. Include at least 2 to 3 sentences  addressing each topic.

You have read about and discussed the basic goals, setup, materials,  and strategies, including specific two-dimensional and three-dimensional  activities, for an early childhood art program. Now you can apply this  knowledge to this Assignment.

Your art center will be for one of the following specific age groups of children:

• older toddlers, 2 to 3 years
• preschoolers, 3 to 5 years
• young school age children, 5 to 8 years

In addition, you will be asked to describe the four topics from the  template and discuss in more detail how they can best help you address  in more detail the cultural backgrounds and diverse needs of children.  Why did you choose them? Make sure these address the core of DAP. You  are encouraged to integrate additional material from the course  resources and document the sources for your content.

NAEYC. (2009) Developmentally Appropriate Practice. Retrieved from http://www.naeyc.org/DAP

Important: This Assignment is designed to measure the following Course Outcome:

CE410-3: Use knowledge of the cultural background and diverse needs of children in planning and implementing activities and experiences.

That is interpreted in this Assignment as being able to demonstrate  superior ability to use knowledge of the cultural background and diverse  needs of children in planning and implementing activities and  experiences. You are not planning activities, but you are planning an  art center where great activities can happen!

In designing your art center, the emphasis should be on two things.

1. First, you need to share specific information about how you will  address the diversity in the center. Diversity involves all the  differences in our children including, but not limited to, learning  styles, abilities, disabilities, cultural, and family backgrounds.

2. The second emphasis is closely related and deals with diversity as  it applies to providing developmentally appropriate practices (DAP).  This is evidenced by accommodations and modifications necessary to meet  the needs of all children by providing developmentally appropriate  practices that will make your art center successful for the age group  you’ve chosen for this Assignment.

Enjoy this Assignment! You get to imagine the best possible climate in which to teach art!

Qualitative Annotated Bibliography

For this assignment you will continue to review current research and provide a critical evaluation on that research through an annotated bibliography. An annotated bibliography is a brief summary and analysis of the journal article reviewed. For more information on annotated bibliographies please visit Purdue’s OWL: Purdue Online Writing Lab

A total of two annotated bibliographies are to be submitted (not to exceed one page each). The articles must come from nursing scholarly literature and may not be older than 5 years since publication. Please note that the articles must be research based and reflect a qualitative methodology (review our reading assignments). Web pages, magazines, textbooks, and other books are not acceptable.

Each annotation must address the following critical elements:

• Explanation of the main purpose and scope of the cited work
• Brief description of the research conducted
• Value and significance of the work (e.g., study’s findings, scope of the research project) as a contribution to the subject under consideration
• Possible shortcomings or bias in the work
• Conclusions or observations reached by the author
• Summary as to why this research lends evidence to support the potential problem identified specific to your role specialization.
