Telling Stories with Infographics
In library and technology classes, 4th graders have been studying infographics, a visual and pictorial representation of data or research. After learning infographics’ purpose and features, they worked in pairs to create one of their own. Students were given a fact and asked to create it first with colored pencils, then digitally on the computer. They iilustrated such fun facts as the % of diamonds used for industrial purposes vs. gemstones (80/20), and the top five spoken languages in the world (Chinese, Spanish, English, Arabic, and Hindi).
