Creating an Infographic • ASK! • Research your topic. The more information you have the easier it will be. • Hint: You don’t have enough research yet! • Remember you are creating an infographic that shows the relationship between STEM and the Olympics.
Creating an Infographic • Imagine! • Organize your information! • Generate questions! Get more information! • Remember you are creating an infographic that shows the relationship between STEM and the Olympics.
Creating an Infographic • Plan! • Brainstorm a list, a long list, of images that fit your topic AND information. • Discuss, PAM your ideas, and decide which images and information: • go together • are most important • you want to use
Creating an Infographic • Create! • On a piece of paper, create a draft that shows: • which images you will use. • where those images will go. • what information, text, you will include in your graphic(s).
Creating an Infographic • Improve! • Ask another group to PAM the draft. If your PAMmers are not specific in their review, ask them to provide details. • Praise = I like how you included all the steps of the design process. • Ask = Why didn’t you include definitions for each step? • Make Suggestions = I think you should include examples for each step.
Creating an Infographic • Improve! • Have the members of your PAMming group initial your draft after it has been PAMmed. • Revise your draft. • Conduct research to find additional information if needed. • Show your original and revised drafts to one of your teachers to get the infographic paper to create the larger version of your graphic.
