Are you up for the task? Check out the details below and then get started!
Completing this Quest
Your teacher will tell you where to place your infographic. There is also a link you can email to your teacher if asked to do so. If you email, you might want to include a message of thanks to your teacher for providing yet another opportunity to flex your techno-creative muscle!
A TIP for you: infographics can be used in a variety of learning environments. You might find yourself creating them in your social studies class for U.S. History to sequence events, in your science class to represent data from experiments or research, or in your math class to display statistics. COOL!
What you need for your infographic:
1. A heading for your topic.
2. At least 5 facts/information about your topic (assume your reader knows nothing about this topic.)
3. At least 5 pictures/images to support your topic.
4. Must use at least 3 different websites to gather your data.
5. Bibliography for your sources using a citation maker (i.e. easybib.com). It must be in correct format. You will put this information on a word document. A simple URL is not citing your source.
