Overview

For this third short assignment, you will be creating an infographic using Canva (or another editing software) that outlines your argument using the Big 5 from Writer Thinker Maker. The ability to convey large amounts of information in a logical, easily consumable format will be extremely useful to you in years to come. This infographic has the potential to be an illustration in your Pressbook chapter.

Process

To make your infographic you will be combining information from your elevator pitch, annotated bibliography, and class readings and discussions. If you like, you can think of your infographic as a substitute for a traditional paper outline.

Your infographic should convey:

• Your topic and it’s connection to Cohen
• The highlights of your argument (complex claim)
• Supporting evidence from your research

First, ask yourself what the most important information you want to include in your infographic. It may help to jot down some notes.

Next, go to Canva.com and browse the infographic templates (Canva home > Templates > Marketing > Infographic). What designs stand out to you? Why do you think they will be effective at conveying your information?

Finally, choose your template and edit it. Be sure to include enough information without overcrowding the design. When you are done, you can download a pdf image and submit it with your reflection to Canvas.

Requirements

You will need to turn in the infographic AND a Reflection.

Your infographic should be approximately one page and include:

• Your topic and it’s connection to Cohen
• The highlights of your argument (complex claim)
• Supporting evidence from your research (3 sources minimum)

Your reflection should be about 150-250 words and should reflect on the creation process, including, for example:

• why you choose your theme and how it complements your argument
• Any problems you had along the way and how you solved them (or how you were unable to)
• (optional) ideas for things you would do differently when revising
• Demonstrate engagement with and awareness of at least two course Outcomes.
