Writing Homework Help
January 2019 Core Trends Survey Discussion Questions
Step 1
- Describe each visual you are planning
- Describe your argument or point
- Outline your argument or point. Feel free to headings to help you outline.
Step 2
- See the attachment storyboard template
- Fill in the template with your visuals in the order that best makes your point
- Integrate the visuals into your outline to create a storyboard that connects planned visuals to the argument/narrative of your report. Because this is an outline, it is okay to use bullet points and notes to make these connections
The project:
after reading the attachment file with the data:
- Decide on a point you want to make using the data in your data set.
- Then, since you can’t visualize all the data in your data set, you will make decisions about which data to visualize.
- Using the data you have selected, you will create three data visualizations to help you make your point.
- Then you will write about and analyze that data in a brief visual report
Document 1: Visual, Informational Report
A one to two-page, informative, visually interesting report that makes a point about your subject using the data in your data set. This report should incorporate at least three visuals that you have created along with a discussion/analysis of the data in your figures. The text in your report should
- introduce the topic and its importance
- explain the meaning of the visuals
- point to the conclusions suggested by the data.
Your audience is your classmates. Your understanding of the audience informs how the data is presented, the form the visualizations take, and the point you use the data to make, as well as the overall informative purpose of the document.
Document 2: Reflective Analysis —
A short 250- to 500-word note that explains the following (use headings to identify each of the topics listed below):
- How and why you selected your data set
- How you selected which data to visualize and why you visualized it in the form you did
- What decisions you made to tailor your report to your audience and your purpose
- How you ensured that your visualizations of the data were fair, accurate, and clear
