How far along are you on your infographic? Will you be finished and ready to embed on to your blog by the end of the hour today? Do you think you've used your time wisely in class? Explain yourself.

If I had to rate myself on how I have done in class for the infographics I would say I have been on task most of the time with a few focus slips every once and a while and i am still kind of trying to find out how to use pictochart because I am not use to this kind of presentation.

Why do I have you brainstorm and collect your information in a Google Doc before putting in to final draft? Explain.

Brian stormimg before a draf is always important because it is a good way to establish all of your thoughts and ideas before putting them down on the final piece. The reason for the google doc is to get the information down.

Yesterday I introduced you to infographics... tell me again what they are and how they are used? What is the benefit of an infographic? What goes into an infogrpahic?Also, go out and see if you can find an already existing infographic on your global issue.

Where are you at with your 5 paragraph essay so far? How is it coming? Is it easy to write? Difficult to write? Is it helpful that you created an outline first? Explain.
