Did you get your pictures taken yesterday? Did you enjoy going on the photo scavenger hunt? Why do you think I had you take those types of pictures?

Yes we took all of our pictures. Yes, the scavenger hunt was very fun because we were allowed to walk around. So there would be a variety in the pictures we have.

What do you know about photography? When you take pictures what kind of camera do you use? Do you use your cell phone? Do you own a digital camera that is not your cell phone? Explain.

I do not know much about photography, I am not very good at taking pictures. I usually use my cell phone camera, but sometimes I use a digital one.

Welcome back! How was your Spring Break? Tell me all about it. You've been out of school for 10 days so I know you will have plenty to share. Make it good!

My spring break was very good. It stated a little early when I was checked out just before seventh hour began so my family could begin the eight hour trek to Memphis, Tennessee. We went to Memphis because the university my dad attended, Southern Methodist University, was playing the there conference tournament that weekend. The games were a ton of fun even though SMU was knocked out in the first round. Among other things we ate plenty of barbecue, visited the Memphis Zoo, and went to a movie as well while we were there. We came back the next Monday and the rest of my spring break was pretty ordinary. My family and I watched a lot of basketball and I had baseball practice every day that week.

What is the significance of an infographic? What is the point of pairing graphics and information together? What impact can this have on a reader or viewer. EXPLAIN.

An infographic displays information in a visual way that makes the information more interesting. When graphics are paired with information readers are more interested in the information, because the information is given to them in a creative and colorful way that draws their eye. If a reader sees some information that is presented to them in a different way than it usually is (in the from of a powerpoint or someone speaking), they will want to read and learn about that information.

Gun Violence Infographic

If you had the option of writing a 3 page paper or creating an infographic - which one would you choose? Explain yourself.

I would choose the infographic because less work is required and infographics are more fun. Papers require hours of research, but for infographics all you have to have are a couple powerful facts plus add some good designs and color and your project is good.
