Students will learn how to eat healthy on a budget through infographics and a culminating assignment. They'll use various digital food flyers to compare the cost of unhealthy, processed foods to more nutritious alternatives.
Approximately 65% of students are visual learners (according to Google). Infographics are one of the most effective visual learning aids you can utilize in the classroom because they're easier to read than conventional informational texts. Most junior, intermediate, and high school teachers would agree that infographics are a great way of displaying information as they are visually appealing. They're perfect for differentiating learning as well.
Incorporating infographics in your classroom helps students think critically about a topic, data set, or complex idea. They entice your students to logically organize information and look at a set of data from a different perspective. Infographics are an excellent way for teachers to meet literacy standards, regardless of where they teach.
