In the Districts and Schools section of this website you can find one of these schools under the Baltimore city District, and click on one of them to find the statistics. Part 1: The infographic Poster Using Canva.com, you will create an infographic that ”tells the story” of one school. The point of infographics is to tell a story using numbers and images. The clearer the infographic, the better. What story about the school do you want to tell? On the infographic you need to explain: ? Who are the students attending the school? ? How are students performing at school? ? What is the schools neighbourhood like? To answer these questions use the statistics you found on the first website, and use statistics from these two websites: Baltimore Neighborhoods Indicators Alliance https://bniajfi.org Baltimore City Schools (with more of the Maryland state data including satisfaction survey) https://www.baltimorecityschools.org Your infographic poster must include the following: ? the name of the school and the name of the neighbourhood ? a correlation, ratio or average that you calculated using Excel ? at least two different types of graphs ? no fewer than 7 numbers or quantitative measurements When complete download the file from canva.com as a .jpg file and attached it separately from the word document to the file section of the order. Part II: ”The Experts say” (This part is written in a word document) Think about the story the infographic tells. What are some factors that affect this school’s academic performance? To complement this information you at least 4 sources from the file section order of this order. There’s a word document with links to videos and one article that could be useful as well. In approximately 500 words, present expert opinions that help explain the story that you have presented in your infographic. Plan to present the findings from at least two of the articles or experts in the videos from the word document in the file section. For example, if you point out that x % of children come from homes living below the poverty line, what evidence can you point to from the experts that makes a relationship between poverty and academic success? (this is just a suggestion do not use this example on the final project). You should be putting numbers and quotations in context with full sentences. As well, you should include some type of graph/display that you describe in full sentences. Citations: Use the APA format for in-text references, and cite the graphs appropriately. References: Include the references of the articles you used in a works cited section. Part III: Produce a one page profile (~300 words) that uses a character or situation from The Wire (season 4) that exemplifies what you have been talking about in Parts I & II. The characters you can choose from are Michael Lee, Duckie Duquan Weems, Namond Brice, Randy Wagstaff or Roland Przybewski. To continue with the example of the relationship between poverty and academic success, you might want to discuss what happened with Duquan throughout the show. You could begin by explaining his situation at the beginning of the show and then how it improved and then deteriorated as the show went on, highlighting the way poverty dictated so many of his decisions. (This just a suggestion do not use this example in the final project). Submission: Submit parts 2 and 3 in the word document and part 1 separately as a .jpg file in the file section of this order.
