Activity 23
• You may remind your students
to go back to Activity 16, where
they wrote some terms that may
be useful for this activity.
• It might be useful for your
students to have some of the
infographics they explored
earlier in this practice at hand.
Those examples will give them
a good idea of words that could
be used in their infographic.
• Remind your students that this
practice is not about creating
a professional infographic.
While it is good to have high
expectations, it is just as
important to be realistic about
their abilities.

Activity 24
• Paraphrasing is not just
rewording, synthetizing
or expanding is what is
needed. When something is
paraphrased, the idea is kept
and the details are excluded.
• Help your students verify
whether the key terms are in
their paraphrases.
• Help them understand how
synonyms are a resource for
rewording some concepts.
• If available, help your students use a thesaurus and not only a dictionary. A thesaurus is a type of book
which contains words grouped by their similarity of meaning (synonyms and antonyms). They differ from
dictionaries because a thesaurus does not give definitions. So using a thesaurus may be more useful than
a dictionary for this activity.
• As this activity is central to the practice, be available to your students to help them paraphrase the most
important information about their machine.
