For my Bizzarro Research “Paper” I created an infographic using a (semi) free website. I compiled information from the French Embassy in the United States and from the International Organisation of La Francophonie and made it more accessible to potential new French speakers. Let’s get real…if you’re not already interested in French, you probably aren’t going to peruse the Francophonie or French Embassy websites. Infographics are popular on social media sites, so they can get information out to a wider audience.
In our later “Spread the Message” assignment, I want to share my infographic on as many platforms as possible. Ideally, it would inspire others to advocate for French education in our schools. Learning French shouldn’t just be a luxury!
Since I decided not to pay the $18 for a membership upgrade, my creation is only visible online (I’m still trying some things to find a way to download it for free…fingers crossed!)
This is very interesting information. Before I read these facts, I did not understand how prevalent French was and how much it could broaden your job choice. Good job Hannah!
