For my final assignment in my Numeracy in Society class I was asked to create a unit plan incorporating the ideas and lessons learned from the numeracy class into my teachable subject area. After some brainstorming with my partner, I decided to go with infographics which are visual representations using carefully calculated design elements to make the data being conveyed more easily understood. Honestly, I think this cross curricular unit plan should be stretched out into 4 or 4.5 lessons so the students get a better understanding of what infographics are, why they are used and how it applies to graphic designers and artists as well as the critical thinking needed to decipher data today.
Unit plan and supplementary materials- Infographic Unit Plan
Lesson 1 – Intro to Infographics
