Task TWO: The Project...
Narrow the topic
You will need to narrow the big topic to a specific area of interest. I have made suggestions on each page or you can choose your own.
Some ideas for narrowing the topic:
*Wealth/income gap
*Factory working conditions (i.e. fashion, electronics)
*Child labour
*Working poor
*Foreign aid (wealthy countries financially support economically-emerging countries)
*Living wage
*Your own idea (you need to run your idea by Mr. Oliveira)
Research
Part One: Asking Questions - building your curiosity?
What questions do you have about your topic?
Come up with at least 5 questions that you would like to have answered about your chosen topic. (Remember to think about the 5 Ws (What, Where, When, Who and Why) + How.

Create the Infographic...
*What is an Infographic?
*A visual representation of knowledge and information.
*Present information clearly and concisely
Choose your Infographic tool

Once you have gathered information on your topic, you will need to design your Infographic.
Consider these questions:
*Which information, facts and data are essential to include? Which aren't?
*What colours and layout works best in sharing the information?
*What graphs and graphics best convey the information and data to the viewer?
*What is the order, or flow, of information?
The final Infographic should be informative, simple, and engaging for the viewer.
