Desktop Graphic

I choose to create a diagram that can be used with my content social studies. This graphic will help students understand the power, job, and people ahead of each branch of government. This will also make it easier to understand how it is a system of checks and balances. I created this in Microsoft word. I think it would be even more effective to have students create the diagram. This was the only program I knew of, but I also considered Inspiration. I choose this instead because it was only able to be opened in Inspiration and I couldn't put it on my page for everyone to see. The good part is that I am familiar with word and it wasn't hard for me to do. Issues were that there was no template that would fit like Inspiration has and doing it in word is a lot harder than Inspiration. I didn't have many questions as I was working because I use this program a lot. However, I kept asking myself how would I have done this with Inspiration for this assignment and made it viewable? What other programs are out there like Inspiration that I don't know about? The file type is Microsoft Word Document, and size is 26.5 KB. I believe the program it will open in when double clicked is Microsoft Word,Word Pad, & Internet Explorer. I acquired my graphic by creating it myself in Word. I can incorporate this diagram in the classroom to improve student learning in a number of ways. This could be used as a study tool, it could be a graphic the students are able to use on a test. They can refer back to it when we discuss the government and how a bill becomes a law. It will also help students understand the jobs and duties of the 3 branches.
