href=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/learn\/best-infographics\/\">infographic<\/a>. Just as a film adaptation of a novel does not necessarily include <em>everything<\/em> from the book\u2014and may even change some parts of the story to better fit the new medium\u2014so too should you feel free to <strong>loosely<\/strong> and <strong>selectively<\/strong> adapt your essay into an infographic.<\/p><p>I suggest you use <a href=\"https:\/\/piktochart.com\/\">Piktochart<\/a>, a platform designed to allow the user to easily create infographics, though feel free to turn to other methods (such as Adobe InDesign) if you prefer and have that expertise. Note that you absolutely do <strong>not<\/strong> need to purchase a premium version of Piktochart to complete this assignment!<\/p><h4>Guiding Questions<\/h4><ul><li>Does the infographic have a clearly defined topic about which it\u2019s trying to educate its audience? Is that topic derived from the student\u2019s researched argument?<\/li><li>Does the infographic include at least one data visualization: for example, a chart, graph, table, timeline, or map? Do these graphics present data clearly and ethically?<\/li><li>Is the infographic\u2019s overall organization logical and easy to follow? Does it use headings and subheadings to create distinct sections?<\/li><li>Is the infographic visually appealing? Does it effectively employ design elements such as contrast, repetition, alignment, proximity, color, and typography?<\/li><li>Is text used effectively? Does it provide sufficient context to the audience? Is it graceful and free of errors?<\/li><li>Does the infographic avoid presenting too much information (and so feeling too tightly packed)?<\/li><li>Are sources documented? Is the documentation of sources easily found? Are the sources reputable?

You will be working in groups for this project.<\/p>\n<p>First, choose a text that you find interesting and worthy of discussion. The text doesn&rsquo;t have to be written. It could be a video, scene from a movie or TV show, video game, meme, artwork, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Watch or look at your chosen text with a critical eye. Consider the audience of the piece and the rhetorical choices that the author or creator of the text used. Why did they make the choices they made? Why did they use the specific color, texture, diction, sound, setting, etc.?<\/p>\n<p>Then you will create your own text that will satirize, parody, criticize, praise, or otherwise comment on the original. However, your new text cannot be an essay; instead, you need to communicate your analysis through a different medium or form&mdash;a video, podcast, website, poster, infographic, skit, song, series of memes, social media campaign, etc.&mdash;something that uses media in a different way than we have thus far this semester.<\/p>\n<p>No matter what you decide to do, everyone will need to complete the following:<\/p>\n<p>1. A presentation of up to five minutes to the class during the last week of the course, time length depending on your chosen medium. You&rsquo;ll want to show us your text (play it, perform it, display it, etc.), then explain how it comments upon the original.<\/p>\n<p>2. A process memo. <em>Each member <\/em>of the group needs to write their own individual process memo. In this document, you should do the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Explain how your new text comments upon the original. What rhetorical choices from the original did you choose to use in your new text? What was the goal of your new text? How did you take the audience of the old text into account in the new one? Does your text have the same audience or a different one?<\/li>\n<li>Discuss your part in the project, how you and your group went about completing the project, changes you would make if you had more time, and what you learned as a result of completing your project.&nbsp;You will also evaluate your and your peers&rsquo; participation, so make sure that everyone in each group is participating equally.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 id=\"elementor-tab-title-81413\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"13\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-81413\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Remixes<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-81413\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"13\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-81413\"><ul><li>Moore, Michael R. \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/composing.org\/wrd103aq2014\/remixing-the-new-york-times\/\">Remixing <em>The New York Times<\/em><\/a>.\u201d WRD 103: Composition and Rhetoric I, DePaul University, 2014.<\/li><li>From the University of Texas, Austin&#8217;s Digital Writing and Research Lab\u2019s lesson plan library is &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/lessonplans.dwrl.utexas.edu\/content\/remixing-materials-public-domain.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Remixing Materials from the Public Domain<\/a>.&#8221; The assignment&#8217;s description notes &#8220;students will learn about the literary and rhetorical aspects of selection and juxtaposition.
