1º British: Infographic about vikings

During the following days your INDIVIDUAL new task is to create an infographic about the Vikings. But, first of all, what is an infographic?

Infographics are graphic visual representations of information, data or knowledge intended to present complex information quickly and clearly. They can improve cognition by utilizing graphics to enhance the human visual system’s ability to see patterns and trends. For example: 

There are a wide variety of tools available that allow you to create your own infographic. These free infographic creator tools will allow you to generate an infographic very quickly, without the need for a professional designer, and often in very high quality formats but if you prefer something more familiar to you for starting, you can download this archive with free power point templates.

However, infographics are about more than looking good and attracting lots of views and links. If your infographic does not present data in an engaging way – or your data is not worth learning – you may find that your work/effort is unsuccessful. So before you start designing, do some research.

In your case, each team will create an infographic about vikings!. Besides being visually attractive, your infographic should be informative and complete from an educational point of view. You can start by reading my theoretical notes for class and by visiting the BBC for kids web and the AcademiaPlay video.

When finish, sent the work as an attached file to acarriles@educa.jcyl.es.  The LAST DAY: Sunday 4, October). As usual, this work is mandatory and will be part of the score at the end of the term. If you fail to finish it, do it out of date or just copy&paste from internet, the mark will be a 0 for this work.

Keep calm and good luck! :)
