Infographic Research Project

This research project involves the exploration of goods and services we use in our daily lives and how they are beneficial and harmful to society. Students have chosen a common good or service and created a hypothesis to answer each of the following questions:

How does my good/service help society?

How does my good/service harm society?

These hypotheses along with their crafted inquiry questions will guide their research, with which they will create an infographic. Please see below for more information about this project we will be working on through next Friday, November 17.

What is an infographic?

An infographic is is information delivered through graphics, rather than a written report. We chose to assign infographics to support the development of 21st century skills by aligning informative writing ability with visual literacy. Creating an infographic deepens critical thinking skills and encourages students to make connections and create structures that may not manifest in a written report.

Constructed Response for Main Idea

Students will need to write a constructed response that explains the main idea and three supporting details of an article about consumerism. Our materials that we used to review are below.

Example Main Idea Constructed Response

Does Not Meet the Standard (1)

Approaches the Standard (2)

Meets the Standard (3)

*Exceeds the standard (4)

Rubric

*An Exceeds the Standard grade is given when something BEYOND what was taught in class is demonstrated on the assessment. This is only one example of what a (4) might look like. Any time a student displays thinking, connections, and analysis beyond what is asked in the prompt, a (4) is considered. 

Note: This constructed response will be TYPED and students are being graded on spelling, punctuation, and capitalization as well.
