Life, Character , Action, Mansour Baalbaki, Stephanie Broy

Goal 1: Social Responsibility Narrative

Purpose: Transitioning to IMSA is a time of new choices, responsibility, and freedom. As a result, sometimes, students’ intentions are not always the best for the individual or the situation. Throughout the IMSA experience, students are caught in the middle of the new community’s values in which they live. Students internalize what they see their peers and role models doing and decide how to live their own lives. Every interaction that students have during their IMSA years affects how they see themselves and how they see others—helping students understand why character matters will allow them to value kindness, cooperation, sharing, …

05. 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. However, some 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 skewed visualizations themselves.

02. Data Skills, Illinois Mathematics And Science Academy

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. Style/Persuasion, Illinois Mathematics And Science Academy

IMPACT

In this module, students will learn the importance of articles in terms of actual content. As a continuation, students will have the opportunity to practice writing their own articles, which can prepare them for IMPACT’s Student Leadership Exchange (SLX) project.

08. Data Analysis 1, Illinois Mathematics And Science Academy

IMPACT

Describe the time period and the social, political, etc situations that surround the time period/theory.

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 them. Through these explorations, students will learn an important skill that is crucial for article writing for SLX.

07. Surveys!, Illinois Mathematics And Science Academy

IMPACT

Surveys are important tools that can be used to collect information for writing journalism articles. In this module, students will learn more about the effectiveness of surveys and how to write meaningful, unbiased survey questions.

01. Welcome To Data Journalism!, Illinois Mathematics And Science Academy

IMPACT

As the first module within the IMPACT curriculum, this module serves as an introduction to the course. The students will get a good idea of what’s expected of them, as well as what they can expect of the class throughout the rest of the year.

03. Visualizations!, Illinois Mathematics And Science Academy

IMPACT

This module serves as an introduction to creating simple visualizations through Google Sheets and Plotly.

09. Back To Journalism!, Illinois Mathematics And Science Academy

IMPACT

Students will engage in more writing practice paying attention to biased language, organization, conciseness, and other aspects of their writing styles.
