Infographic criteria for phase 3

The purpose of this post is to make you aware of the grading criteria and requirements of your infographic for phase 3.

Infographic-making programs: LibreOffice Draw, GIMP, http://www.creativebloq.com/infographic/

Requirements:

1. An infographic should consist of the 12 (or more) visual notes that students were expected to produce in previous assignments.

2. Infographic drawings should be in color (e.g., color pencil, crayon, marker, computer graphic color, etc.).

3. An infographic should be a single image, as opposed to multiple separate images; acceptable image formats include .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .png.

4. An infographic should be titled with the name of the social system to which it pertains (e.g., “White Supremacy”, “Capitalism”, “Patriarchy”).

5. Each visual note should be titled the name of the idea that it attempts to visualize (e.g., “Genocide”).

6. Each visual note title should have a number following it (preferably in superscript, subscript, or significantly smaller font size), which designates the annotation to which it pertains (e.g., “Genocide¹ ”, “Genocide ₁” or “Genocide 1”).

7. Each visual should be annotated. That is, on a separate page and beneath the number which corresponds to the number mentioned above, you should list 1) the name of the idea, 2) the idea itself, 3) an example of the idea [unless the idea is already an example], 4) a reference/citation that designates the text and page number that the idea can be found in.  The idea itself should be copied and pasted directly from the book.  Bold each of these items as I have below.

E.g.,

1

Name of idea:  Genocide

Idea:  "Genocide is the systematic killing of a group of people, based on their race, ethnicity, nationality, or religion. Typically, genocide involves a majority group seeking to exterminate a minority group."

Example:  the Armenian genocide of 1915, the genocide of Native Americans by European settlers, the Holocaust

Reference:  Croteau, David and William Hoynens. 2013. Ch.10: Race and Ethnicity.  Experience Sociology. Pg. 259.

I’ve included the items immediately below so that you can copy and paste them into your annotation document.

Name of idea: 

Idea: 

Example: 

Reference: 

8. Infographics and annotations should be sent in separate documents. Infographics should be sent as image files (e.g., .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .png). Annotation should be sent as Word files (e.g., .doc, .docx).

9.  References for the blue book should follow this format:  Croteau, David and William Hoynens. 2013. Ch.##: Chapter Title.  Experience Sociology. Pgs. ###-###.

10. References for the green book should follow this format:   Last Name, First Name of writer. (yyyy of original print/2010) Title.  Introductory Sociology Reader by R. Hensley and R. Castro. Pgs. ###-###.

12. References for URLs should consist of links to the source.

Below is an example of what an infographic could look like. The layout doesn’t have to look the same. For example, you could go wider like thisexample or you could go taller like this example. However, the items included in this example (e.g., a title for the infographic, titles for the visual notes, etc.) should be included in your infographic.
