We are taking a different approach this week: create your own infographic. Instead of writing a paragraph, place your thoughts in a statistical or nonstatistical infographic.
To do this, we have to keep it simple, and maybe even downright sloppy. That’s okay, and I’ll accept any sort of attempt you make, even if it’s hand-drawn on a
coffee-stained napkin. But if you have some skills with drawing or digital media, stretch your mind a bit and see what you can do.
In your infographic, answer this question: This is what I think.
To do this:
1. Make a list of things you think about, like grades, food, love, work, music, whatever.
2. Guesstimate a percentage of time you spend with each
3. Create a visual that can be divided into these portions. Pie (circle) charts are easiest and basic, and will get you full credit. But something more creative
will earn you extra credit, admiration and maybe something to be proud of.
4. Once drawn or created, scan it or take a photo of it with your phone, and upload it to the discussion herein.
Here is a student example from last semester: Time Spent Thinking, by Chase Sieh
Now this is pretty good, so don’t let that be intimidating.
OPTIONS for creating the visual:
• Write it out on paper, hand draw a circle
• Create a chart in Excel or Numbers and export a PDF of it
• Take an existing photo and write/paint/draw on it.
• Use Photoshop, Illustrator or any software you know how to use
So…. the bar for “good enough” is incredibly low on this one. Just go for it, because there is no “wrong.” We might even come up with some brilliance.
Make sense?
