10. 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 student are able to not only identify and avoid these articles, but also don't make skewed visualizations themselves.
