How can I modify this activity for my learners who require more support?
To adjust this activity for your learners who require more support, consider the following: 1. Scaffolded Research: Provide learners with specific resources or key points to research for each SDG. This helps them focus on essential information without feeling overwhelmed. 2. Visual Aids: Offer visual aids like pre-selected images, icons, and templates within Piktochart to assist learners in creating their infographics.

Information Literacy
Researching the chosen SDGs encourages learners to navigate online sources, evaluate information credibility, and select relevant content. They practice effective online search strategies, which contributes to the development of information literacy.
