I don't have much writing time this morning. I need to leave even earlier than usual for a morning of meetings in Spartanburg. Let me return to the idea of infographics, which I first wrote about in this blog post. Now that my baptism infographic has been graded, I can share it:
As I was looking at my pictures, I came across the black and white version, which I took in case I messed up the infographic when I added color. I wouldn't have had a way to undo the color, but I could have turned in the black and white version. Happily, I liked the color version better.
I still find this concept of an infographic intriguing. I'm still looking for ways to incorporate it into my writing classes. Of course, this is the time of year when I find myself yearning for a different way to do the research paper. Or wishing that I didn't have to do a research paper at all.
Let me record this here: as much as I'm enjoying teaching, I do find myself yearning to do more creative things in class and not having to do some of the traditional stuff, like the research essay. I find myself wishing I could teach less English writing classes and more creativity class. Not so much creative writing, but a class exploring creativity.
Maybe I just want to play with art supplies.
