Assignment: Infographic
Uses in the Classroom: Using the application easel.ly, copyright friendly graphics and original content, students will map out an outline for their essays that visualizes the different elements of their work. They could also make their own (I could design) custom graphic organizers.
Issues to Consider: Students will need to have access to a computer and graphics files. Some class time would need to be spend on helping students use the online application. Some students might need a modified workload depending on their supports, they might need to only map out their opening (hook, thesis, support points). The activity could be scaffolded by allowing students to sketch their ideas for a visual representation of their essay on paper.
