<div dir="ltr">My teammate, Wendy Settles, created a lesson for fifth graders using the book to talk about infographics. We also looked at infographics on Culture Grams and from <a href="https://www.schrockguide.net/infographics-as-an-assessment.html">Kathy Schrock's site</a>. Choose the ones appropriate for your grade level. We evaluated the infographics, looking for topic, purpose, facts, creator, currency, and source of data. We noticed that many infographics do not have dates, list creators, or show what data was used, including <i>What a Waste. </i><a href="https://coolinfographics.com/blog/2012/9/11/what-is-an-infographic-explained-with-legos.html">This visual</a> worked well as a start.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Mar 1, 2022 at 2:53 PM Kleckner, Stephanie via AISLE <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Thank you for your input, Brenda!!

Then, I showed a couple Team Seas videos (this one was very popular - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cV2gBU6hKfY" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cV2gBU6hKfY</a>). The kids went crazy. Team Seas and Team Trees are very much on their radar. We then discussed a plan to do clean up around our school in May.
