You need to make an infographic that shows how the people, ideas and actions in the Enlightenment established many of the ideas by which much of the world now works - this would be the ideas of democracy, individual rights, capitalism and the value of freedom.

The class will be following the same process as the last infographic project. You will spend one period brainstorming and planning your infographic and then one class making the final product.

Making the most of the brainstorming and planning class is the crucial part in making an infographic. During this time you need to plan the overall layout of the infographic, select the facts, details and statistics that will be in infographic and determine the visuals that will go with your information.
