Infographics to Support Writing Development Within Process-based Writing Pedagogy

6/16/2021

 Undraa Maamuujav, Jenell Krishnan, & Penelope Collins
Infographics are visual representations designed to present information, data, and knowledge quickly and clearly (Krauss, 2012). A writing curriculum that explicitly teaches writers how to develop infographics as an authentic method of planning their ideas and communicating them to an intended audience may hold unique affordances for their writing development. ​
By engaging students in developing infographics as a part of the writing process, teachers create an opportunity for students to compose within a legitimate, multimodal genre used in many public and private sectors. ​
Moreover, teaching students how to create infographics before they compose their full-text drafts places greater emphasis on effective communication and reinforces the value of planning—a behavior demonstrated among successful writers (Graham & Harris, 1994). ​

By Jazmin Cruz
"Ask students to write their autobiographies and personal narratives. Students can start with their earliest memories of traditions, education, religion, triumphs, defeats, and so on. Teachers must have permission to read such personal accounts."  -Cultivating Genius by Dr. Gholdy Muhammad
On July 8, 2020, Kelly Gallagher hosted a webinar on narrative writing and how that looks like during online instruction.
