APUSH Period 4: Antebellum Reform Movement Group Project
Background: Prior to the Civil War, there were many historic reform movements, with a diverse mix of
reformers who dedicated themselves to religious, social, and cultural change.
Directions: Working in small groups, you will research your assigned reform movement from the preCivil War era, create an infographic presentation using piktochart.com, a Prezi, a PowerPoint, or another
presentation form approved by myself, and present your findings to your classmates.
What is an infographic?
-
Infographics are visual representations of information. Colorful and pictorial, they tell stories in a
compact snapshot, conveying information clearly and quickly.
An infographic takes a large amount of information in text or numerical form and then condenses it
into a combination of images and text, allowing viewers to quickly grasp the essential insights the
data contains.
Due Date: Must E-mail Project to me by ____________________________________________________

capacity in your presentation.
