Below is a ready-to-use one-slide infographic plan (text, numbers, and layout) you can copy into Google Slides. I include all required elements, a $100,000,000 budget breakdown, and design tips so your slide is clear, accurate, and easy to read.
Title (large, top center)
- Alabama State Government — At a Glance
Section 1 — The Three Branches of Alabama State Government (left/top)
- Legislative
- What it does: Makes state laws, passes the state budget, and approves certain appointments (Alabama Legislature: House + Senate).
- Executive
- What it does: Enforces and carries out laws; runs state agencies; the Governor proposes the budget and oversees day-to-day state operations.
- Judicial
- What it does: Interprets and applies state laws; resolves disputes in state courts; ensures laws follow the state constitution.
Section 2 — Current Alabama State Leaders (right/top)
- Governor: Kay Ivey — Chief executive of Alabama; enforces state laws, leads state agencies, and proposes the state budget.
- Attorney General: Steve Marshall — State’s chief legal officer; represents Alabama in court, gives legal advice to state agencies, and enforces state legal actions.
- Note: Verify names if your assignment is due after today (I used names current as of June 2024).
Section 3 — Two Funding Sources (right/middle)
- State Taxes (sales & income taxes)
- How it helps: Provides regular revenue used to pay for K–12 schools, highway repairs, state employee pay, and public safety.
- Federal Aid
- How it helps: Grants and matching funds from the federal government (e.g., Medicaid, infrastructure grants, education programs) pay for large healthcare and construction projects and expand services.
Section 4 — $100,000,000 Budget Breakdown (bottom; use a pie chart or bar chart)
- Education — $45,000,000 (45%)
- Use: K–12 funding, teacher salaries, school supplies, state colleges.
- Health & Social Services — $25,000,000 (25%)
- Use: Medicaid, clinics, public health programs, social service benefits.
- Infrastructure — $15,000,000 (15%)
- Use: Roads, bridges, public transit, water systems.
- Public Safety — $10,000,000 (10%)
- Use: Police, fire departments, corrections, emergency management.
- Other (Admin & Economic Development) — $5,000,000 (5%)
Design & Quality Checklist (small text, corner)
- Use clear headings and short bullets (your own words).
- Add icons: capitol building for Legislative, governor silhouette or state outline for Executive, gavel/scales for Judicial.
- Add visuals: simple pie chart with labeled percentages and a legend; use contrasting colors.
- Font suggestions: Title 36–48 pt, headings 20–28 pt, body text 16–20 pt. Sans-serif font (e.g., Arial, Google Sans) for readability.
- Keep text concise; use bullets rather than long sentences.
