Infographic

 

 

 

 

The 2000s were marked by a number of big personalities, people who left their mark in fields as diverse as politics, entertainment, and sports. In fact, many of these people are still around today. For this assignment, you will create an infographic illustrating the impact of a major 2000s newsmaker (or newsmakers). In constructing your infographic, consider not only the cultural impact of this individual, but also how he or she helped shape the decade. While you may include relevant biographical information, your infographic’s primary focus should be on this person’s or group's impact during the 2000s. 

Guidelines:

• Use the subheading to state your thesis—in other words, why was this person so impactful in this decade 
• You are responsible for sourcing no less than six outside sources to support your thesis—to be listed in your works cited
• Space will be limited, so be thoughtful about which aspects of this person's achievements to include 
• Be sure your design aesthetic that complements your subject
• Infographics may be created using any program you prefer, including PowerPoint, Google Slides, Canva, and Adobe Express. Additionally, you may utilize AI in the creation of your design of your infographic—however, the content of must be entirely yours.
• As mentioned above, many of these figures are around today, but be sure to limit your scope their impact on the 2000s.  
• Do not include your name on your infographic—that should go on your works cited page
