  • A title that indicates the strategy they have been assigned
  • a short description of the strategy
  • List of materials needed for the strategy if appropriate
  • The steps it takes to develop in a classroom. 
  • All information should be presented in easy to read format such as bullet points for quick referencing
  • Students should include images to enhance understanding on the infographic
  • Students will have 1.5 hours to complete their informational infographic and when completed they will upload to the Blackboard class discussion board.

Boundaries/Timing/Submission: Students will be working in groups of two. They will be using Piktochart to create their informational infographic and they will share their informational infographic to a common discussion board on Blackboard when finished. The student will be provided with an hour and a half to create and then we will showcase them in class to discuss the proactive strategies available. Each group will need a computer, access to Blackboard for the base material, and a free account with Piktochart for this activity.
