What is an infographic?
Two tasks
today:
Firstly, you will
be reading through & responding to the preliminary ideas of 2 group editorial proposals. Choose two group proposals. Make a substantive comment (5ish sentences) for each ; while they can
be affirmative in nature (“I really think your topic has a lot of possibility!”),
they should also contain specific advice and evaluation (“You may want to check
out this website for further details about your topic…” or “What exactly are you persuading people to do?”). Questions you may think about:
- Is the umbrella topic interesting? Who would it appeal to?
- Are the individual editorial angles persuasive?
- Would the angles result in a call for action?
- Can YOU offer any resources (websites, ideas, knowledge) that could help any of the editorial topics?

Secondly, you
will be creating an Infographic.
You will be individually creating an infographic (like the one above!) that showcases your angle of your group’s editorial series. This is a way for you to synthesize preliminary information (AFOREST!) that you have collected to make an eye-catching infographic. Keep in mind that infographics, much like editorials, are persuasive in what they select to display. NOTE CHANGE: You should send your INFOGRAPHIC LINK via EMAIL BY 11:59pm ON SUNDAY, 7 FEBRUARY. The format of these can be tricky. With school computers, the easiest way to share your infographic with me is to email me the infographic link.
Information graphics or infographics are graphic visual representations of information, data or knowledge intended to present information quickly and clearly. (Newsom and Haynes 236)
