Introduction		Hi my name is Darlene Dela Rosa and my project is Cancer Survivorship. I will be educating you about the experiences survivors have to face and illustrating key elements that can potentially improve the way they are living their lives.
Verification (Steps to check for student understanding)		• Beginning of Presentation:                                                                                            -What are common feelings that cancer survivors experience?                                                                                     -What are common problems that cancer survivors experience?  • End: Give some examples and reveal the answers at the end.
Body (Give and/or demonstrate necessary information)		Break down what you plan on talking about into manageable sections. • Literal: Having a support group can boost overall happiness and improve quality of life during journey of survivorship. Volunteering for the cancer community can also have postive effects on emotional recovery. • Interpretive:Talking to other survivors helps because a survivor can get ideas on how to better live their life by getting tips from survivors who went through the same cancer as them. • Applied: This topic may help me in the future because I want to work as a nurse practitioner in a children's cancer hospital when I grow up. This can enable me to fully comprehend the struggles of survivorship and to be aware that just because the cancer goes away, doesn't mean I should stop contact with the patient. My end goal is to be aware of available resources that survivors can access in order for them to lead a healthy life after cancer.

Activity (Describe the independent activity to reinforce this lesson)		• What is the activity:Everyone in the class will be divided into their literature circle groups and will simulate a cancer support group. Each person will be a cancer survivor with a different problem. The goal is for each person in the group to have a resource that adresses their problem by the end of the 10 minutes. Additional input from students is expected. • How it will be done: Each person will receive an identity card with the cancer they had and the problems they have encountered during survivorship. There will be a "Box of Resources" in the middle. Each person will pick a random resource from the box and give it to the person who needs it in correspondence to their problem. • What materials will be used: Identity cards, "Box of Resources"
