CARP

User:

The user of the graphic will be 1st grade students with an understanding of what rocks are. This graphic is intended to help them remember what each of the 3 main rock types represent. 

Justification:

The graphic created is for students to have a reference for the 3 main types of rocks using the CARP analogy.

C- To go along with the previous graphics created for the unit I put Rocks and the rock types in orange type. These are meant to stand out from the definition of each type of rock in black type. In addition to the color contrast, I added a border line to contain the rest of the graphic. 

A-All of the text is either right aligned or left aligned depending on where the text is. Each section is aligned within itself and with the other 2 sections. 

R-Throughout all the graphics the orange type color is repeated several times. The black is also repeated multiple times. 

P-The definition of each rock type  is close in proximity to its example picture and name. There is also a line under each of the sections to show the end. 

Each of the components of CARP help to create an image that can be effectively used for the students benefit. 

Peer Review

Overall my colleagues who reviewed this image thought that it would be a great addition to the unit. They also stated the images of the rock examples could be a little larger to show a larger connection of the definition to the picture. When it is being used in the unit I will increase the size of the canvas in order to increase the size of each of the images.
