Public Writing Infographic

Step 1. Choose a topic

Idea: Net Neutrality

Step 2. Choose a web platform to host your site

https://www.wix.com/

Good because it helps with design

https://www.weebly.com/

Same with this one

Step 3. Research and outline content for your site

Your site should include information from credible, reliable, and relevant sources on your subject. Consider who your audience is and what kind of sources on the subject they will find most convincing and persuasive.

Step 4. Write and design content for your site

Refer back to our discussion of the strategies for successfully communicating science to the public:

§ Use clear and highly visual analogies and examples

§ Anticipate any vital technical terms and explain them upfront

§ Use visuals and illustrations to explain concepts quickly and clearly; assess which of your team’s infographics best complement or illustrate the written content to determine which two you will include

§ Connect your content to information your audience already knows about the subject or other values/interests they have

§ Emphasize your audience’s agency; what can or should they do after reading your site’s content?

Note: Remember to include two of your team’s infographics into the final website’s content; see guidance on creating the infographic below.

Step 5. Conduct an informal usability assessment to identify potential issues with your site

Refer to our discussion of website usability to identify any issues with navigation, text readability, and task performance that your site may have.
