As scholars in the Hive, we know the importance of features in expository texts. Features give us more information, they explain the data visually, and they literally make reading more colorful! Today, we will be looking at a lot of features as we analyze a collection of infographics. Are you asking yourself, "what are infographics?" Well, we're about to become well-versed in this "spectrum" of expository texts. In fact, we're even going to be reading expository texts from the perspective infographic designers. Phew...we've got our work cut out for us!

Have you ever asked yourself, "what is an expository text?" Well, all of your dreams will come true because that question will officially be answered in the upcoming days. In the Hive, scholars will be exploring a variety of expository texts...from podcasts to TEDtalks to digital articles to infographics. We'll be discovering a wide range of features that can be found within these texts and exploring the important purpose of expository texts in today's world. Let's start with a few: TEDtalk, the Birth of a Word Digital Article, Syrian Refugees Among Few to Find a Happy Ending in Chicago Podcast, Radiolab: The Wright Brothers Today, scholars in the Hive will be delving into a collection of texts, documents, and photographs as they utilize their newfound knowledge from Let America Be America Again to make meaningful connections. Moving amongst the digital stations, scholars can physically jot down their thoughts, as well as interact with others' thinking throughout the experience.
