Day in the Life of a Libyan Girl
Normally a girl in Libya would have a life where she goes to school and then comes home to help her mother cook and clean, but since the war in Libya began that life has changed drastically for children in Libya. They now have to fight to survive. There is no more school, because there is fear they will be shot. It is hard for them to leave their homes at all. Life is definitely turned around for a Libya child since the war.

Kingston, TN Coal Ash Spill: Infographic
-I think my group's whole process went really well, we all split up the project equally, shared our finding, and helped each other with the different topics as well. And our finished product is also really cool and informative.
b. What did not?
- There really isn't anything that didn't work out well, I think we made our point and we made some good comparisons so people could really understand how big this disaster was. We completed everything that was needed to and the whole process was actually really smooth.
c. What would you do differently next time?
- I might possibly use a different way to visualize the disaster, instead of a slide with words and pictures maybe find another way to express what happened. Maybe even something more creative.
d. Specifically comment on the 10 tips for effective infographics -
Be Concise
Be Visual
Be Smarter
Be Transparent
Be Different
Be Accurate
Be Attractive
Be Varied
Be Gracious
Be Creative
Infographic - Markia, Ayanna, and Sam S.
a. What went well?
Our collaboration with the information we found and the creation of the visual itself went well for our group. We didnt really have any problems or disagreement.
b. What did not?
Nothing really went wrong with our project it was swell.
c. What would you do differently next time?
Next time i would look up more information about my topic. Just to have more sources to pull from. I would also organize our bibliography differently.

Be Transparent

I think our project was creative, attractive, different, visual,smarter,concise and accurate. I am not as sure about the transparent aspect of our infographic but i do know that it meets all of the other requirements. Our idea was originally supposed to be different but I think it turned out well. I especially like the way we mixed our information in with the way our design, I think that is one the best parts of our infographic. The only part of our project that was a bit difficult is the way we created it. Since we made it in photoshop we had to make sure that it did not turn our too pixelated when we uploaded it.A day in the life "Somalia"
Somalia has one of the most troubled histories of any “modern” country. After World War 2 the country gained independence from Britain and with that fell into communism relatively quickly. This communism eventually led to a dictatorship that would ravage the country economically. Fed up with the countries state of affairs a Civil war began between the countries people and its government. This war disrupted food distribution between the country and further damaged the already staggering economy of the country. Hundreds of thousands left the warring country and what remained at the end of the conflict was a very torn apart country devoid of any true rule system. Piracy is openly committed by some of the poorer members of the country as a way to supplement supplies that its country is lacking. What effect this has on the countries children is massive.
Children can attend one of 722 classrooms set up throughout the country. A child can go to school for the initial 8 years of grade school and may progress into secondary school if they so choose. Children are taught geography, math, and English as well as agriculture and Arabic. Lessons last 36 to 40 minutes. Somali has seen an increase of 27% attendance in recent years. Higher education is largely private with options in the hundreds as to where to attend.
Health care in Somalia is somewhat slippery. One in 10 children will die in childbirth. 70% of the country goes about un inoculated which is reflected in the average life span of a somolian being 47.
One special problem facing the children of Somalia is the Prevalence of child Soldiers. The U.N has fought with Somalia several times over its refusal to stop the use of Child Soldiers. The children are conscripted at age 8 and are deployed around age 12. Somalia uses these children as disposable attackers in various conflicts. Something disturbing to note is the U.S funds the Somalian military and recently has had to take steps to assure they were not the ones funding the children.
