elliemellie"At the end of a research project about Supreme Court cases that have influenced the rights of teenagers, students prepared an infographic using multiple sources of information cited in a Works Cited Page and one template from the collection linked above. The example to the left shows current suspension statistics after Goss v. Lopez established a student's right to a hearing prior to a suspension."

Marita ThomsonThe key to creating infographics is understanding that the finished product looks deceptively simple. Every decision, including font, shapes, color scheme, and use of white space, will either contribute to or detract from the overall clarity of the message in the finished infographic. This makes them particularly good for helping students to swim deeply.

Enter the infographic,

Reading and writing infographics is like cannonballing into ten feet of water -- you splash in deeper and more quickly.

The first thing students noticed was the substantial time savings in reading an infographic or two versus a traditional article.
-

-
his is important to note with students preparing to create their own infographics. Just like any other sort of writing, how you convey your message is just as important as why you are creating the message.

Most importantly, you have the opportunity to explore a new type of reading and writing with your students, learning together, side by side.

had to transform information from article form to infographic form that we faced the complexities of infographics from scratch.
-
create an infographic from scratch that used text, color, and design to highlight several of the facts that would be most likely to attract tourists
-
introduce a target audience and purpose at this point
-
good revision
-
Was the infographic easy to understand on the first read? Did fonts and simple icons help to meet this objective? Was there a "flow" to information, or was it cluttered? Did the facts chosen work well given our purpose of attracting tourists to Philadelphia?

As texts compete for attention with soundbites, scrolling headlines, tweets, and vines, writers and readers alike are seeing the value of text that uses visual design features to organize ideas, provide background, and emphasize key facts in ways that make it easier for readers to engage a topic thoughtfully. I have always encouraged my student writers to "swim deeply" when they read and write, moving beyond the basics, braving the imposing waters at the "deep end of the pool." Reading and writing infographics is like cannonballing into ten feet of water -- you splash in deeper and more quickly.

- Which of these was the best infographic and why?
- How does the writer try to engage an audience, even an audience who may not initially care about the topic?
- Is the text or the visual design most important in each of these? How does the use of color and white space affect your ability to focus on the main message of the infographic? How is font size used to emphasize certain facts?
- Does the infographic make a claim or develop an argument? If so, how can you tell?

Mr MaherAlthough it is easy to be impressed by data visualization and use it as a communication tool to teach, it is more difficult to use data visualization as a means to teach students how to think. This articles traces a teacher's experience in teaching data visualization like writing, very interesting results. Who wants to try this?
