Thank you to everyone who submitted! We hope that beyond trying to win that “big prize,” that it was a rewarding project for both you and your students. If you haven’t yet created infographics in class, these will inspire you. They definitely inspired us! So here are the top 5… choosing a winner wasn’t an easy task.

*Note* These are student-made for a class project to demonstrate their learning (language and culture!) with a 21st Century twist. – There are natural errors and tons of creativity!

Highlights

We really liked Jenn’s scenario. It’s positive and gives them a challenge for a real festival.

Rose Egan gave her students the task of creating infographics about a job they wanted to know more about. We liked how hers included a comparison of the salaries. Oops, flags are swapped, but good teachable moment!

Glad to see students citing their sources! Depending on the type of infographic, this is a must to give it some “cred.”

Amy really let the students take ownership of their projects and their learning. She set the stage by letting THEM brainstorm/discuss what they needed on their infographics. We don’t need to decide that for them!

Overall, it’s awesome to see what students can do when we give them a context to use the language and an opportunity to be creative. Thanks again to all who participated in our contest and special thanks to Piktochart for making it fun and easy to share learning.
