How to create your own infographic:

• Know (about) the information you want to represent
• Find a good and catchy title to hook the interest of potential viewers (What Makes a Great Infographic)
• Have information data already collected and available
• An infographic’s job is to make the viewers:
  • aware of an issue, a problem and make them respond with an action or an attitude. (Designing an effective Infographic)
  • grasp the implications of the data and the big picture (What Makes a Great Infographic)
  • put data into context (Cool Infographics)
• You can ask the following questions (examples):
  • How has the information changed over time? (use timeline, line chart)
  • How is the information different based on geographic location (use maps)
  • How do the numbers compare (use bar graph, pie chart, individual blocks/clipart and ten-, hundred-blocks, use same graphic in proportionate size differences)
  • How does information differ or overlap in some areas (use Venn Diagram)
• Use a visual metaphor or analogy to represent your topic/info
  • Try to use a theme with supporting images & icons
• Use same colors to connect information
• Use proximity of objects to group information together
• Leave a section/space towards the bottom of page to include your data’s sources

Title slide must have 1 (appropriate) picture of each student with names

Each student is responsible for 1 concept and must turn in their part printed in “3 slide handout” form in order to receive credit for work done in their group.

Each student’s part must have at least 2 relevant pictures AND 1 political cartoon which illustrates concept (with a written explanation of that cartoon)—cagle.com

Each student’s part must include ONE multiple choice test question wherein the knowledge can be gained from THAT part with 5 options. Students will not give answers to students in audience but give the teacher the answers.

As of August 26, I will NO LONGER be accepting work in pencil.

Thank you,
