Artifact number 1- Infographic: The infographic was designed to be used as an

example to show students during the lesson. A step-by-step checklist is included
to provide support to students as they create their multimedia presentation.
Artifact 2- Comic: The comic was designed to be used as an example to show
students during the lesson. A step-by-step checklist is included to provide

Reflection- This activity was a great opportunity to reevaluate teaching styles

and the integration of technology. As I created the lesson, I reflected on the
ACRL Visual Literacy Competency Standards. I tried to frame the lesson
objectives and activities based on the ACRL Visual Literacy Competency
Standards. The Common Core State Standards also included a technology
presentation standard which I found particularly useful and appropriate for Mrs.
Spain's 3rd grade students. I hope that this lesson is a useful resource for Mrs.
Spain in the future and I hope the students enjoy creating, evaluating and
presenting their multimedia presentations.
