Evaluation: create an Infographic that communicates the information you want to convey about either Thales, a Pre-Socratic philosopher, or Socrates.
Imagine you are a recruiter for his school or his philosophy. Present some historical information about your philosopher, but also present information about theories you find interesting, accomplishments, and snippets of any writing. Sell me on this philosopher. Present reasons I would want to have this philosopher as my teacher.
When creating your infographic, please consider the following:
Using Microsoft products will be the easiest to do. Using your free access to MS Office (through your Office 365 email account), open up MS PowerPoint, click on “New,” and search themes for “Infographic.” There are several FREE templates to choose from. You may also use PPT as you normally would, but be sure to limit your presentation to 3 slides.
Alternatively, you can open MS Word, click on “New,” and then search for “flyers.” There are many templates to choose from. The key is creating a visual presentation with the information you are sharing.
You may use an Infographic program such as Piktochart Visme or Canva, but you will need to create an account and you may have to pay for a subscription to retrieve your creation. The school will not reimburse you for an account. There are free resources available.
Here is an Infographic on how to use Piktochart
Use copyright-free images (included in the Infographic program used). You may create your own images using Dall-E or a similar program, but be sure to give proper credit (see official AI Policy)
Include text to explain your argument and describe your position.
Include data to support your argument.
Include at least two sources in the Infographic and include both references at the bottom AND citations on the infographic where the referenced material was used.
Post as either a PDF, PPT, .docx or a working link. Be sure the link works as I cannot grade what I cannot open.
Have fun with this assignment and be creative!
If you need an alternative format, please contact your instructor immediately.
