Hi guys! I already gave you in class the instructions for today’s activity but , just in case, I give you again the instruction and characteristics of the infographic you will develop during the 50 minutes the class last. At the end, Lic. Omar will check that you have it in your blog ( the picture or the link). 

The aspects the infographic must include are: 

- Title

- Brief introduction ( written by you) 

- Information on the topics ( racism, discrimination and civil rights based on what the UN mentions ), each part with an appropriate heading. Remember to include references, examples and graphs if possible , based on what we checked in class and on your own research. The information about the  UN and the civil rights was the homework for this day ( may 20) . Include something about civil rights nowadays in the world. 

- Brief opinion ( yours) 

- drawings, pictures, etc. Be creative!! 

The general topic will be civil rights, but you can focus more one of of the topics related ( racism, discrimination or civil rights). 

You can use any program to create your infographic. 

This activity will be taken as participation, homework ( as you must include the results of your research on UN and civil rights ) and assistance.  There is no rubric. The participation will be granted if all the aspects are included. It will be 3 signatures for participation this activity.
