Franklin, B. Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. Edited by
Frank Woodworth Pine. (2006).
This autobiography is about Benjamin Franklin. He talks about
his early life in Boston, his love of reading, and how he saved
all little money for book purchases. Franklin’s Autobiography
stands apart from every other biography of a great and
successful person because of the story’s human side. The
publishing of the autobiography was in 1791 before editing
Frank Woodworth Pine in 2006. Despite not being the
wealthiest or most powerful, he is undoubtedly the most
versatile of our self-made individuals regarding his intellect and
accomplishments. Franklin’s ability as a writer contributed to
his reputation as a diplomat, statesman, and scientist and his
social standing.

2. Biblia Latina, 42 lines, (Mainz: Johann Gutenberg and Johann
Fust, about 1455). On paper. British Library.
The Bible of Johann Gutenberg is arguably the most famous in
the world. It is Europe's first comprehensive work printed with
a moveable type. To continue funding his printing efforts,
Gutenberg formed a business partnership with Fust in 1452.
Gutenberg’s invention revolutionized the world by allowing for
the first time the mass production of books. By 1455, Gutenberg
had perfected his printing method and had produced many
copies of the Bible. Johann Gutenberg and his collaborators
Peter Schoeffer and Johann Fust published the Gutenberg Bible
in Mainz in 1455. Only forty-eight copies are known to exist,
thirty-six on paper and twelve on vellum. Twenty are complete;
the British Library houses two, one on paper and one on vellum.
The Statue of David by Michelangelo. Florence. (1504).
David of Michelangelo is magnificent Renaissance artwork
produced from 1501-1504. The Arte Della Lana (Guild of Wool
Merchants), who was in charge of the decoration and
maintenance of Florence’s Cathedral, commissioned
Michelangelo to sculpt the David in 1501. Michelangelo departs
from the typical representation of David by depicting him as a
young man in the moments leading up to the conflict with
Goliath. Given its stature, the David strikes a modest stance
since any more robust action pose might jeopardize its balance.
In January 1504, his 14-foot-tall David was exposed to them
exclusively; the committee members all agreed that it was far
too magnificent to be displayed so high inside the Cathedral.
Thus there was the suggestion to look for a new spot in town.
Eventually, the statue found itself in Piazza Della Signoria,
Florence’s political core.
The Last Supper Mural Painting by Leonardo da Vinci. 1495-
1498.
Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper (Cenacolo Vinciano) is one of
the most well-known paintings in the world located in Santa
Maria Delle Grazie in Milan, Italy. It is a massive painting that
stands 4.60 meters tall and 8.80 meters wide and is created with

3. tempera and oil on gypsum rather than the fresco technique. The
last meal between Jesus and his followers is depicted in this
painting. Its production dates between 1494 and 1498 under the
direction of Ludovico il Moro. The Last Supper by Leonardo da
Vinci is full of symbolic connections. An equilateral triangle
formed by Christ's body anchors the balanced composition. He
is seated beneath an arching pediment that, when complete,
would create a circle.
The Birth of Venus painting by Sandro Botticelli (1485-1486)
The Birth of Venus is a 1480s painting by Italian artist Sandro
Botticelli. It represents the goddess Venus on her way to the
land after her birth when she had utterly grown from the water.
The Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, houses the painting. It is a
tempera painting on canvas. Venus appears somewhat off-center
and separated against the background, without any other figures
obscuring her. She leans in an odd contrapposto-like pose with a
slight inclination of the head. Botticelli was quite particular
about her hair and hairstyle. He created Venus, an idealized
face that is astonishingly free of imperfections, and he shaded
her face nicely to contrast a brighter and a darker side.

Education of America. The American Political Science Review,
Vol. 86, No. 2 (June 1992), pp. 357-368.
Professor of Political Science at the University of North Texas,
Steven Forde's research spans many legal theories, law and
legal studies, philosophy of science, and political philosophy
topics. The author examines Franklin’s vision of democratic
society, his utilitarianism, his portrayal of the relationship
between money and morality, and the discovery of a soft and
robust ideal tailored to enlighten and elevate American culture.
But, according to Steven, neither friend nor adversary has
looked through the Autobiography in-depth to examine its
lessons. The author uses a combination of primary and
secondary sources, the original autobiography, and outside

4. sources to cement his ideas. His approach proves effective in
the understanding of the autobiography.

Kate Donovan is a Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences
Associate Librarian for Public Services and Curator of the
Harry Elkins Widener Collection. Her primary responsibilities
include teaching and researching. The school library outlines
the Gutenberg Bible as a milestone in print work with a
movable metal type in Europe. Only twenty-three of the forty-
eight surviving copies are complete, including the Harvard copy
printed on paper. It is divided into two volumes, one of which is
kept on display at the Harry Elkins Widener Memorial Rooms at
all times. Since the university houses the surviving copies
(primary sources), it can quickly validate any comments and
remarks of the Gutenberg Bible.
ItalianRenaissance.org, “Michelangelo’s David,” in
ItalianRenaissance.org, June 28, 2012,
www.italianrenaissance.org/michelangelos-david
The website is credible as it contains several analyses of
Renaissance arts. It provides a brief background of
Michelangelo as a sculpturer and his other famous works of art.
The website asserts that David is one of Michelangelo’s most
well-known masterpieces and one of the most notable statues in
the entire art world. According to the website, Michelangelo
proved his competence by completing the massive statue after
the first two sculptors could not find its stability due to too
many imperfections. The website uses other similar works of
David to prove Michelangelo’s uniqueness in approach. There
are several resources, including books, that the website uses to
back the primary analysis of the sculpture.

5. The authors with a solid background in research examine the
Last Supper Art based on contemporary ideas. They believe that
in today’s world, The Last Supper reflects developments in
global civilization. As a result, the research focuses on
determining the extent of new readings of an artwork's
portrayals based on semantic indicators and finding
connotations in the painting over time due to sociocultural
changes. The researchers met their content, structure, and form
objectives by comparing and contrasting The Last Supper
painting across different periods. There is a combination of
primary and secondary sources to convince readers to embrace
the results.
Jones, C., How to Read Paintings: The Birth of Venus by
Sandro Botticelli. Medium. (2020).
https://medium.com/thinksheet/how-to-read-paintings-the-birth-
of-venus-by-sandro-botticelli-7616c20dbc5e
Christopher P Jones is an artist, art historian, and critic. The
author's first book is titled How To Read Paintings. He
considers Alessandro Botticelli's artwork The Birth of Venus to
be unique in art history. Christopher compares The Birth of
Venus with Piero Della Francesca and Giotto’s works on The
Baptism of Christ. The compositional components emphasize a
particular interpretation of Venus as a symbol of divine love.
Contrary to expectations, the author believes that the
understanding of the painting is straightforward without any
hidden meaning. He analyzes the whole scene in the painting
describing every element and figure. By bringing Giotto and
Piero Della Francesca into the picture, Christopher Jones
follows the route of combining primary and secondary sources.
His argument is persuasive as it considers other paintings.
Professional Role Transition
Revised Critical Thinking Clinical Activity
Description

6. The Critical Thinking Clinical Activity allows the Role
Transition student to present a clinical case utilizing the nursing
process to their clinical faculty and peers. The student will
incorporate particular categories/subcategories from the
NCLEX-RN test plan, as well as emphasize target interventions.
The student will provide a written reflection on their
experiences in clinical relating to their transition to practice.
Instructions
Select one patient on which to complete the Critical Thinking
Clinical Activity. You will present to your clinical group and
individual faculty via prearranged Zoom meeting. The clinical
faculty will assess student work and provide feedback. See
separate grading rubric for this activity.
Guidelines:
1. Complete information on your patient to provide your
classmates and faculty with some context.
a. Background: age, sex, ethnicity, allergies, significant
med/surg history
b. Reason for visit or hospitalization – Fecal Impaction,
constipation, vomiting
c. Social history
2. Utilize the SOAP format to critically think through the
nursing process related to the top priorities you have identified
for this patient. Be sure that the content in the assessment and
plan sections correspond to the information in the subjective
and objective sections.
a. SUBJECTIVE is only what the patient tells you (statements
or questions, complaints or concerns) A 43-year-old female with
past medical history of anoxic encephalopathy who is being
seen for fecal impaction, constipation, vomiting. Patient unable
to provide any history due to nonverbal and non-responsive.
b. OBJECTIVE includes physical assessment data, interval test
data, lab or blood work, other objective data, current orders,
current medications

7. c. ASSESSMENT includes the interpretation of information in
the previous two sections. This is your “summary” which
includes medical/nursing diagnoses. Prioritize your patient’s
problems or diagnoses. Clearly identify nursing priorities.
Identify treatment goals for each problem or diagnosis.
d. PLAN includes the interventions which were/are/will be
implemented. Be sure and establish priorities for the
interventions. (You may notate them as #1, #2, #3, etc.).
Provide a brief explanation as to why you have prioritized them
this way.
e. Identify the following patient needs and provide specific
information about each need:
i. Case management or discharge planning
ii. Patient education
iii. Psychosocial, spiritual, and/or family support
3. Complete the reflection at the end. (This is just for the
clinical instructor and is not presented to the group during oral
presentation.)
4. Students will present their SOAP activity (#1-2 above) orally
to fellow clinical students and clinical faculty instructor. This is
a graded activity, and successful completion is a requirement of

My Final Project
My topic is a travel log about the renaissance.
My format will be travel diaries.

9. Purpose
Learners will create a travel journal or log about an imaginary
trip they take back in time to a period, region, and culture
studied during this course to assess students’ ability to describe
the significance of cultural achievements of Western
Civilizations.
Description
Students will create a travel journal about their travels back to
one of the cultures or societies studied in the course and write
about the sites and events that they visited. The journal can be
presented in a digital format such as a website, blog, social
media posting series, or storyboard.
Important: Travel Logs created using Word or PowerPoint will
not be accepted for grading. See media options below.
Details
1. Students must choose a minimum of 5 sites or events from
a single culture or society.
A. Examples of site: monuments, temples, churches, castles,
famous marketplaces, battlefields, statues, painters’ workshops,
taverns, etc.
B. Example of events: gladiator fights, dinner parties, sermons,
receptions, parades, religious festivals or ceremonies, marriage
ceremonies, etc.
2. Students will use at least 10 sources (5 primary, 5 secondary)
to research how the sites were constructed and used by the
societies, what events took place at these locations, and the
significance of these events and monuments for the culture
visited.
A. Pay attention to descriptions and images of the monument or
site
B. Be sure to understand the society that site, or event was
relevant to
C. Consider who might visit such a site. What types of people
might the traveler encounter?
D. Imagine what sounds, smells, conversations the traveler

10. might overhear.
Acceptable Primary and Secondary Sources include but are not
limited to:
· Primary sources (court records, memoirs/autobiographies,
letters, artifacts, etc.)
· Print secondary sources
· Scholarly journals
· Newspaper and other media and video archives
· Appropriate history-related websites and databases (not
Wikipedia)
· Historical documentaries
· History textbooks
Please contact a NOVA librarian or your instructor if you have
questions on locating sources.
3. Students will submit an annotated bibliography in Module 5
4. Descriptions of the 5 sites or events should be at least 300-
500 words for each site or event presented. The descriptions
should accurately demonstrate the cultural achievements and
significance of the society studied and presented.
A. Consider utilizing photos of the site or an event that may
have been similar to help illustrate your narrative
5. The student will present their travel narrative and
descriptions of location, along with any accompanying images
(properly label and cited) on a digital platform of their choice.
Here are some options:
A. Google sites
B. Blogger
C. Wix
D. Weebly
E. WordPress
F. Tumblr
G. TravelDiaries
Important: If you choose to create a website, make sure that you
make your website publicly accessible or the instructor won’t be
able to access it for purposes of grading. Do not make it private
or require a password for access. Some website creation sites,

11. such as Wix, require you to “publish” your site before other can
view it. (In the case of Wix and likely the others, you need to
remember to “publish” after all of your edits, no matter how
minor.)
