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.
I have almost finished the graphic part of the infographic and then I will add the info part once the graphic part. I have never used Piktochart so I was a little slow figuring out everything. I think I will be able to finish the infographic at the end of the hour, assuming that I didn't completely forget something in the rubric.

Why do I have you brainstorm and collect your information in a Google Doc before putting in to final draft? Explain.
You brainstorm and collect information before you make a draft because it maps out and tells you what you are going to do. It is a good place to collect all your information. Also Google Doc is cool because it's all internet and saves automatically.

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. Save the image to your computer and upload the image into your blog post for today. Save the source link to the image so that you can site the image in your blog post. See my examples at the end of this post.
Infographics display, facts, stats, pictures, and charts all in one large image. People make infographics for just about anything from cars, spaceships, to food. Infographics usually have lots of facts, charts, and graphs. They usually have a color scheme too.

Post your research paper to your blog. Give me a short (one paragraph summary) of your paper and include the link for me read your paper. Make sure you link up words! Do NOT copy and paste the ugly link. This should not be foreign to you.
My issue is over hydraulic fracturing or fracking. It is an issue because it can cause harm to drinking water and environments, it is also very wasteful. The people that do the fracking are rich energy companies. The people who fight fracking are environmentalist.

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.
I have written three paragraphs so far and the words flowing. It is really easy to write when I have such a thorough outline at my disposal. I only have to write one paragraph and the conclusion. I am way ahead of my neighbors who have not even started yet, because they were gone.

Tell me about your Sweetheart weekend. If you didn't go to Sweetheart, what did you do? I want details!
I did not go to the sweetheart dance, because I was not asked, but I'm cool with that because I got to play video-games. I also has to work seven and a half hours. I watched the Super Bowl with my family and my mom made cheese dip and it was delicious. I also played a rec basketball game against all the douche bags and we almost won, so that was cool.
