Part 4: Infographic
The final project will focus on constructing a response in the form of an infographic, using technology tools or software to fit your needs. This representation will communicate the relationships between ideas, things, numbers, etc. through graphic and visual arrangement. Workshop time is provided, for which you are expected to be prepared and actively engaged. You will need to complete any remaining work outside of class time. See Rubric for more specific details.
