Brain Rules Poster Making

  1. First, the class must decide on a theme so all of the rules are part of a cohesive set. Each of the groups (1-5 or 1-6) will work on a different rule, but all of the rules must visually tie together.

  2. Your group will design an infographic that expresses one of the class rules using 

    piktochart.com

  3. Supporting this rule MUST be at least TWO pieces of solid evidence from John Medina's Brain Rules.

    Find this information at his website: BrainRules.net or in the attached file "Brain Rules Jigsaw Materials."

  4. Organize this information in an interesting way that informs your viewer. 
    There is an example below about men and women managing money.

  5. Keep the rubric in mind for your presentation-- content, accuracy, visual appeal and standard English mechanics will all be part of your grade.

We will watch parts of the video in class, but you are required to finish the video on your own. You will need headphones.
