Infographic assignment
Create an infographic to help your audience learn about your topic quickly and in a way they will remember. Infographics help learning "stick" better than alphanumeric texts: for you the composer and for your audience.
Assignment steps.
1. Now that you have produced a bibliography and a review of secondary literature about your autoethnography topic, decide what you would like to communicate to your audience in the infographic genre. Content map due: September 27.
2. Remember that your starting point is a rhetorical approach. Also remember the accessibility guidelines.
Who is my audience
What am I trying to communicate to them?
What is my purpose?
What is the context?
Does my infographic need to be timely?
What is the exigence of this situation?
How does the multimodal genre of autoethnography afford multiple ways to communicate and how best to take advantage of these affordances?
How will I use design principles I've learned in my composition?
What are aspects of accessibility that are opened up in my infographic?
What are aspects of accessibility that I need to be concerned with in my infographic?
3. Create a free account in Piktochart during lab on September 29. Create a sandbox. Then draft your infographic.
4. Create an infographic draft by September 29th; upload it in class.
5. Collaborate on the rubric below September 29th.
6. Draft due for peer response in class 10/20. Revise and submit draft for points/ feedback on 10/25. Revise.
