Title of Your Paper Your Name Walden University Course number and section Date First you need to include a cover page with the usual elements except a running head as you are creating a flyer. Next you will provide a description of the health issue you selected. In order to get an excellent rating you need to include course and additional peer reviewed sources published in the last 5 years (journal articles). I would use peer reviewed sources to support the health issue and target audience I was addressing. Then you should describe your target audience (what population is the flyer intended for). Lastly you need to identify the search terms used to identify all sources (journal articles and creditable websites). Next, I would create a paragraph to identify the course and additional resources to create the flyer. Describe in a sentence the peer reviewed sources used to define the key terms. Describe in a sentence the peer reviewed sources used to describe the health issue to target audience. Describe in a sentence the course and other resources used to provide guidance on how to identify websites and resources with credible information on the health issue. You do not have to use peer reviewed and course resources for every section. You do need to use a blend of peer reviewed and course resources in the introduction section for an excellent rating. The information on this page is repeated on the first page of the sample flyer. I repeated it here to give you a blank page to insert your introduction to your flyer. You do not have to use this shell for your flyer. Please do not include the grading rubric in your flyer. THE FLYER HAS A RUBRIC SPECIFIC TO THE FLYER THAT INCLUDES A SECTION ON IDENTIFYING CREDIBLE WEBSITES. THIS SECTION IS NOT MENTIONED IN THE INSTRUCTIONS. YOU NEED TO SUBSTANTIAVELY ADDRESS HOW CONSUMERS CAN IDENTIFY CREDIBLE WEBSITES IN THE FLYER AS THIS SECTION IS WORTH 20 POINTS!! References Bradley, P. (2006). The history of simulation in medical education and possible future directions. Medical Education, 40(3), 254-262. Good, M. (2003). Patient simulation for training basic and advanced clinical skills. Medical Education, 37, 14-21. Gordon, C., & Buckley, T. (2009). The effect of high-fidelity simulation training on medical-surgical graduate nurses’ perceived ability to respond to patient clinical emergencies. Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing, 40(11), 491-500. Please remember that the reference page should only include references cited in the body of your paper. You need to integrate additional resources and course readings in your paper, to earn an excellent rating you need to integrate 2 or more credible additional sources and 3-4 course resources into your application assignments. There are several important points covered in the “Guidance for Application Assignments” I wanted to highlight: The use of direct quotes is discouraged and should only be used when the source material uses language that is particularly striking or notable. The introduction should provide an overview of the topic, the purpose of the paper, and topics that will be addressed. Credible sources include scholarly peer-reviewed journal articles, evidence based resources, and professional (.org), educational (.edu), and government websites (.gov). Commercial websites (.com) are not considered credible sources. When selecting articles for course assignments, you are advised (unless you are referencing seminal information) to focus on work published within the past five years.
