Assignment Title: Infographics
Uses in the Classroom: Creating and using infographics to present information to students is a great instructional tool. For example, Language Arts teachers can use infographics to present background information of an author or to provide historical background information necessary to understand a novel studied in the classroom. Students will be put into a small group and assigned a topic from the "Roaring 20's" to study and present to the rest of the class. Students will use Piktochart.com to create an infographic on their assigned topic. The infographic will be presented to the class in order to provide historical background information that relates to the novel, The Great Gatsby that will be covered in the unit.
Issues to Consider: Students need to be introduced to what infographics are and how it is used. Students will need basic introduction to Piktochart.com. Since students will be working in groups, computer use will need to be monitored to ensure that all students are staying on task. Students' access to computers and the internet needs to be considered as well. When students present their infographic to their classmates, appropriate technology, meaning computer, projector and screen, will need to be set up.
