31. Discuss whether your
                           infographic can be
                           improved with your
                           teammates. With your
                           teacher’s help, add, remove
                           or change information to
                           adjust the language for the
                           addressee and purpose.
                           Look at the example.

                            •  Use a dictionary to check the spelling and punctuation of your infographic and,
                              with your teacher’s help, check the indications regarding whether the word is
                              British or American, so your infographic

                              is consistent. Look at the example.
