Final Project!
As a class you decided to learn more about the History of Pandemics. Each of you that was on Zoom chose a Pandemic you wanted to research. I am going to list them again, along with a few others. (If you want to change your topic...you may by Thursday!) Your goal with this project is to teach your fellow classmates AND ME about the topic within the Pandemic you chose.
Today is the day to create your infographic! Remember what goes into an infographic: every drawing should have a meaning, there shouldn't be any white spaces, and you should be able to learn something from the picture.
A. Pandemics to Choose From:
B. Topics to Research:
Tomorrow, the entire project is due. I suggest setting a timer for 40 minutes (just like we were in class) and work on it. If you are stuck for ideas, think of what different symbols represent illness, history, recovery...work with those depending on your topic.
I am not going to force you to turn anything in today, but tomorrow, you will see a place to upload your infographic. I also created the Flipgrid spot for all of you to submit your 2 minute 30 second-3 minute presentations. If you would like to get a jumpstart on that; I will post the link!

You do NOT need to write in your Primary Source Journal this week; if you would like to continue it for yourself, by all means do so.
