Assignment 2:
Fact Sheet/ Infograph Assignment Rubric 1 page
The point of a fact sheet or online infograph is to get the reader to do something. For instance, you want to make it as
easy as possible for the reader to take your action on a healthcare policy or legislative issue. Additionally, if you
want the reader to make a call, give appropriate phone numbers. If you want a legislator to vote yes on a bill, give the
bill number and title.
It is suggested that you use Canva, going to the Canva website: https://www.canva.com/. Set up a free account. The
Infographic design page is under the Section: Blogging and E-books. Create a one page fact sheet using the
Infographic template. You may use another software to design the sheet if you want. You will display it (More info in
that week’s course page), tell us about it and then review each other’s display.
Guidelines:
One page
Make it readable (use at least 12 point font)
Keep the text informative, yet brief
Include the most important information in the first paragraph, for example state the issue, identify possible
actions, and label the main messages (key points)

The fact sheet should be self-contained (be sure not to refer to previous documents or assume the reader has
additional information)
Use bullet points (when appropriate)
5
Make the message you are sending very clear (bold, text boxes, graphics add emphasis)
Provide the reader with tools needed to take action–list phone numbers, bill numbers, etc.
