ENGL 1101 Mitchell Fall 2024: Infographic Assignment

Infographic Assignment

Infographic Assignment Sheet


You will not have a final for this class. Instead, you will create an infographic based on your research paper and give a three-to-five-minute presentation on your infographic during our final exam time. You will make this infographic in Canva, which can be accessed at https://www.canva.com/. In the infographic, you will be presenting information from your Research Essay on the place you focused on in this essay. The goal of the infographic is to try to convince others to visit this place but using a more visual format than that of an essay.

You need to have three to five pieces of information from your research, including cited evidence from at least two of your secondary sources. You need to have a visual accompanying each piece of information. Your infographic must have at least two colors. The focus of this infographic is to present your information visually in a logical and engaging way. It should have a title at the beginning and a works cited at the end. Do not use one of the themes in Canva because one of the things I am looking at in my grading is how you organize the information, and I want you to create your own organization. All visuals used need to be copyright free, and you need to have citations for all the sources you got information and visuals from for this infographic at the bottom of it.

You are free to use generative AI to help you develop ideas or a first draft of your infographic. You need to include attribution and will be required to turn in the prompt(s) you used, the AI’s response(s), and all subsequent drafts so I can see your work. Look at the AI Assistance section of the syllabus for more information.
