This weeks discussion is going to mix things up a bit by placing a heavier emphasis on peer feedback than on the initial post. A different rubric will be applied for the unit 9 discussion, and your ability to engage as a team member will be assessed for Professional Competency 1.1.
In your initial post for this Discussion, you will provide your first draft of your digital media presentation. This presentation will be based on the argument for change you wrote about in Unit 8. You can create a video or slide presentation to highlight your main message. Then, you will provide a minimum of two thorough, detailed peer responses according to the guidelines below. To earn full credit and demonstrate mastery of Professional Competency 1.1, you will need to go beyond the minimum expectations by responding to feedback on your post and/or providing feedback to more than two classmates.
For this weeks initial post, you will share a draft of your digital media presentation to receive feedback from your classmates and the instructor. You will receive peer feedback on your draft of your digital media presentation, much like you may well receive comments and feedback from your community members or coworkers if they are provided access to the digital media presentation. When you upload your presentation, please post at least one question to your classmates based on what you still need help with in your presentation. This question will give your peer reviewers some direction and help to ensure the feedback you get is based on the feedback you want.
If you are not readily familiar with digital media tools, the WC has resources that you can review, and one of them is Creating Effective PowerPoints. If you want to try different tools beyond the basic slide presentation, the Internet has several free tools to consider, such as Animoto, Prezi, PowToon, WeVideo, or GoAnimate.
When considering both the tools and visuals to include, keep in mind the requirements of this units digital media Assignment. You can review the Unit 9 Assignment guidelines.
As noted in the Reading, a great deal of thought should be put into the selection and use of visuals and text in digital media presentations. When you engage in a team presentation, whether for work or school, you want to provide support for your teammates, acknowledge their contributions by pointing out strengths in their work, and offer original, thoughtful feedback that will benefit the entire team. The ability to collaborate effectively is a crucial professional skill, and this week’s discussion will help you to build those skills.
To earn full participation credit, you will need to respond substantively to at least two peers initial Discussion posts and show active engagement by responding to feedback about your presentation. Responding in a timely manner is essential this week as students will need time to revise their presentations based on your feedback. These responses should stay on topic and generate further discussion by asking questions, mentioning relevant examples, and referencing concepts from the Reading. Address each of the following questions in your peer feedback responses and offer specific examples to help students revise their presentations effectively.
What is the main message of the digital media presentation?
Who is the target audience and how might they respond to the presentations text and visuals?
What are the strengths of the presentation?
What are at least two areas that need improvement?
Identify one visual design strategy from your Reading that your classmate used especially well or could apply to enhance the presentation.
Answer the question(s) your classmate shared with his/her draft.
All Discussion posts and responses to peers should be written in complete sentences using Standard English. Before posting, proofread for grammar, spelling, and word-choice issues. Be sure to respond fully to every aspect of the Discussion.
When you refer to concepts from the units Reading, be sure to use a signal phrase like According to . . .[name of reading]. If you are directly quoting the Reading or another source, be sure to use quotation marks and cite the source using proper APA in-text citations and full references.
Develop a concept map for your unit that incorporates at least three ideas related to your theme for each of the following areas: creative arts, fine motor skills and gross motor skills. Use Figure 6.5 from the course text as a guide. You may find the Smart Art tool in Microsoft Word helpful for creating your concept map.
Describe the theme of the unit, including a rationale for how the unit uses a developmentally appropriate approach to meeting early learning and/or academic standards for the classroom you choose. Refer back to Developmentally Appropriate Curriculum for support.
Develop the creative arts lesson; you must use the Lesson Plan Template.
Complete the materials, introduction, lesson development, differentiation, assessment/guided practice, and closure sections of the Lesson Plan Template.
Create a new lesson, related to your theme, with a fine and gross motor skill focus. You must use the Plan Template.
Each section of the lesson plan template must be completed.

Topic: Case Study: Mrs. Georgia DAngelo
Mrs. Georgia DAngelo is 76 years old. She has been married to her husband Marcus for 58 years. Marcus is 80 years old. The DAngelos live in a well-kept, middle-class home. The DAngelos have three grown children: two sons and one daughter. All of the children are married and only their daughter lives close to them. The two sons each live more than 3 and a half hours away. The DAngelos are very close to their children and talk with the children every day. Four months ago, Mrs. DAngelo noticed her skin was yellowish in color, and upon calling her primary care provider, she was told to go immediately to the emergency room for evaluation. After having a CT scan of the abdomen and laboratory studies, Mrs. DAngelo was told she had pancreatic cancer and that she should immediately have a Whipple Procedure. This news was devastating to the DAngelos and their family and friends. Mrs. DAngelo called a friend who is a nurse and asked who she might go to for a second opinion. A second opinion was obtained and the second opinion reaffirmed the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer; however, the recommendation was to have chemotherapy prior to the Whipple Procedure. Mrs. DAngelo began the chemotherapy and has suffered severe issues secondary to the chemotherapy and her quality of life is greatly impacted with a huge decrease in her functional status and activities of daily living. As of today, Mrs. DAngelo has not discussed her fear of dying with you as the primary care provider or with her family. She has an excellent attitude about fighting this horrible disease.
Based on this case study, imagine you are the nurse practitioner providing primary care for Mrs. DAngelo. Please address each of the following:
1. Discuss the advanced practice nurse’s role in facilitating end-of-life care and advance directives for Mrs. DAngelo.
2. Compare and contrast the types of advance directives and discuss the relevance of advance directives to this case study.
3. Describe how you would approach the topic/issue of advance directives with Mrs. DAngelo.
4. Identify 2 ethical principles and 2 legal challenges related to end of life and palliative care for Mrs. DAngelo that could be an issue if advance directives are not addressed at this time.
5. Describe communication strategies you will use as the nurse practitioner to effectively engage and collaborate with other members of the interprofessional healthcare team and Mrs. DAngelos family
