Reflection: From doing the matrix above around infographics, I realized that they can be used for so many different things in the classroom, and can really transcend across all content areas and be used for various activities. Infographics are and can be a very useful tool for the elementary classroom since it requires minimal reading, which I am sure

elementary students would appreciate, so this genre is a good tool to use. The infogrpahic that I made is very simple and not too complex, but I believe that it can be used as a mentor text to the students, and can be of use to the students to view. Infographics are very valuable to students, and the matrix above provides a lot of examples of how they can be put to use in school settings.
