Infographics on History |
For my product, I created multiple infographics, along with a lesson plan for primary students to help engage them with history, as well as teaching them new ways of learning information. Infographics is a way of using the phenomenon known as dual coding, which is a learning method used to remember information better. I wanted to teach the primary students at a young age about this phenomenon, which is why I decided to create a lesson plan. Although I won’t be able to show my lesson to the students due to Covid, I wanted to help the students in a meaningful way, as it could have a great impact on their future school years. My project tied in with the global context “Personal and Cultural Expression”, as my product had a lot to do with expressing yourself and furthering the expression towards a community that is close to me.

Challenges
My biggest challenge was definitely choosing which topics to have on my product, and then creating the product. I overcame this by researching which topics were covered in history in primary school. From there, I experimented with using different softwares for creating my product, and settled on a combination of using Pixlr E and Canva.

Achievements
My favorite part of the project was watching the infographics come together, after all the research I had to do on the specific topics. Making a nice layout and then adding all of the facts that I had gathered was very satisfying. I am most proud of the more advanced infographics as I am very happy with the way that they came together in the end.

Advice
Advice for next year's grade 10 is to split the workload through the whole school year. From September to February, spend a bit of time working on research, creating the product, or writing the report. Don’t attempt to wait until the last few weeks to create everything. Also, meet a lot with your supervisor, they are there to help you so get all the feedback and tips that you can.
