This year, you will be conducting A LOT of research! Whether it is building background knowledge about a novel or short story, understanding the relevance of a universal theme, or examining an issue for your own research paper, you must practice smart research skills as an eighth grader. There are a few links and resources below. Check them out and create an infographic about what you learn using Piktochart. This infographic is due on Friday (September 25th), and it will become a staple in your "Resource Folder" for this class. Do your best! Infographics are illustrated data/information sheets that are created with the purpose of disseminating (spreading) or marketing (persuading people) information. Instead of writing out information only (which could be boring), you must create illustrations and beautiful visuals to present information more effectively. It must be eye-catching AND informative. Piktochart is a free site and you may sign in using any google account you already have! Do your best!

You must attach the JPEG or PNG to your assignment submission. This is worth 30 Assessment points! This infographic must prove to me that you are VERY SURE what good research skills look like and what credible sources are. This is due Friday, September 25th.
