most-watched YouTube music videos in the past five years.

3) While you are only outlining the essay--not
writing it word-for-word--you can still get a feeling for what this essay would
look like. How is the infographic different from the traditional essay you
outlined?
The infographic uses pictures to show information and gives audience
a vivid and visual image. It is easier to understand and analyze information for
writing an outline. In traditional essay, we need to read carefully and summarize
the important contents.
4) Strengths and weaknesses of the infographic: what
does the infographic do better than the essay? What does the essay do better
than the infographic?
Strengths: The way of presenting data is more interesting and
eye-catching because it has visual aids instead of just text. Meanwhile, it is
vivid because normally it is designed to interact with reader with animation. Infographic
is also easier for readers to understand information clearly.
Weaknesses: By using infographics, some details may not be shown
or included in the graphics, in which case some minor data needed notice are
not well presented. So the essay does better in providing the complete content
with detailed explanation of some information needed notice.
5) How does this qualify as an essay and not a
series of pictures?
It is consider as an essay but not a
series of picture, for it has clear
purpose and main ideas, provide the analysis of data and give a conclusion to the result.
