Euro Crisis Infograph Assignment

In Current Events (in December) you received an article called, "All Eyes on the Euro Crisis"

Read the article, complete the "On the Lines" questions, and the "Between the Lines" question

INFOGRAPH TIME!!!!
Then in a BLOG POST or in a GLOG interactive poster, you are going to create an infograph to show the information contained in the news story. So what's a infograph? It is a diagram that uses pictures rather than words to convey information (although occasionally single words may be used to label elements of the sociogram) and symbols, such as arrows, to show the connections among the facts and details.

A good infograph includes all important points, clearly shows relationship among the different points, and is easy to understand.

In your Infograph, you must include responses to the following questions...
1.What are the causes of the Euro Crisis?
2. What is the Euro Crisis?
3. What are the effects of the Euro Crisis?
This will be due January 20th....

REMEMBER YOU WILL NEED YOUR ACCOUNT FOR EDUGLOGSTER.ORG.
http://edu.glogster.com

You and your partner(s) will choose one of the glog accounts to use for your Infograph, then collaborate
after you GLOG, YOU CAN BOTH EMBED YOUR GLOG INTO YOUR BLOG... No really!!! Maybe even create a link from your glog to your blog... Imagine an endless look of your thoughts on the Euro crisis!
