Central School (grades 6-12) will learn how "Literacy Changes Our World" by studying World Literacy Infographics. Infographics present "deep data" in a visual way, yet students often lack guided practice in using these tools to help analyze and understand complex information and use it to make inferences and draw conclusions. Each content area will use an infographic to highlight the power of literacy and allow students the opportunity to read, discuss, and respond to the information presented.
