04. Advanced Plotly, Illinois Mathematics And Science Academy
IMPACT
After being introduced to basic visualizations in Plotly in the previous module, the students will now explore advanced visualizations in Plotly such as maps and contour plots. In addition, students will learn about the aesthetics of data visualizations and how to create nice-looking visualizations. Through these explorations, students will be provided an important skill that will be significant for article writing for SLX.

05. Surveys!, Illinois Mathematics And Science Academy
IMPACT
Much of the data sets available online were gathered through professional surveys. Although the students are not required to use surveys, it is a very important skill to make authentic and effective surveys as a way to gather data. Students will learn how to use the correct types of questions, how to formulate the questions as to eliminate bias, etc.

IMPACT
In this module, students will learn the core of data journalism through fundamental data skills. They will not only learn to find data sets, but also clean, sort, filter, and wrangle them to make future visualization easier. Furthermore, they will create pivot tables not only for data visualization, but also for idea illustration, generation, and discovery.

06. Stories!!!, Illinois Mathematics And Science Academy
IMPACT
In this module, students will learn the importance of story writing when writing data articles. They will also learn how to use data truthfully, and to its fullest. With this, they will then be able to display their data more effectively, making them good journalists. However, there are lots of bad journalists out there. These journalists skew data and manipulate it in a way that is more beneficial to their standpoint. It is important that students are able to not only identify and avoid these articles, but also don't make skewd visualizations themselves.
