Creating a graphic was a little difficult for me because I was confused on what exactly to create. I use a lot of Venn Diagrams with my students to compare and contrast, bar graphs and pie graphs to show data collected, and KWL charts - but I wasn't sure if that was what the assignment called for. I wanted to create something that I could use with my students now - since they have been sharing this experience with me so far. I looked at several (hundred) online graphic sites and found a lot of cool things I could use to make my assignments more exciting. Like "fire words" that I could use with my volcanoe unit and interactive spinners to use on probability problems. If I had the time I could actually incorporate graphics into every lesson! I think graphics could make learning more exciting for students, give them a better visual, and I think help make learning more interesting to them. I would love to see students incorporate graphics - it would show if they truly understand what is being taught "a picture is worth a thousand words" :)
