Part 4: Infographic Project
Check out the page on the Multiliteracies site for ideas on getting started with your infographic project.
The tool I recommend using is Piktochart, and you can create an account for free.
As you begin brainstorming for your purpose statement, consider the following options:
- Would a research component make sense? What would be helpful for students to research? What design features of informational text would you want students to highlight in their project (ie labels, captions, use of graphs, maps, etc)? Here are a few examples from the Digital Salon that take a research-based approach to their projects:
- Would a narrative approach make more sense? Could a graphic organization or representation illuminate some ideas from the text? Are there any components of craft (ie story structure, characterization) that could be illustrated through an infographic?

- Research gorillas in response to Ivan: The Remarkable True Story of the Shopping Mall Gorilla
- Research childhood homelessness in response to Maniac Magee
- Research WWII in response to Number the Stars
- Research the history of the Black Panthers in response to One Crazy Summer
