Assignment - Infographics - 073

Objective

Create an infographic in Canva that explains exam anxiety - what causes it, how it affects students, and what they can do to manage it.

Instructions

Gather information on:

• What exam anxiety is, including its causes and symptoms.
• How it affects students: performance, health, and confidence.
• Ways to reduce exam anxiety: study strategies, relaxation techniques, and lifestyle habits.

Use credible sources such as educational websites, student support organizations, or mental health platforms.

Plan Your Infographic

Structure the content in this order:

• Introduction: A short definition of exam anxiety.
• Causes: What triggers anxiety, such as poor preparation or fear of failure.
• Symptoms: Common physical and mental symptoms, such as headaches and difficulty concentrating.
• Tips to Manage Anxiety: Practical strategies, for example:
  • Setting a study schedule.
  • Practicing relaxation techniques.
  • Getting enough sleep.

Design in Canva

• Use calm colors such as blue, pastel pink, or light green.
• Include relevant icons for each section: a calendar for study scheduling, a yoga figure for relaxation tips.
• Use clear, readable fonts.
• Break content into clearly separated boxes or panels.
• Leave enough space between sections so the design does not feel crowded.

Content to Include

• Use numbered lists or bullet points for the tips so they are easy to scan.
• Add a statistic on exam anxiety if you can find one with a clear source.

Final Review

• Review for spelling, grammar, and consistent tone.
• Make sure the most important tips appear first.
• Check that icons, images, and text are aligned properly.
