You will take all the great work you have done in Social Explorer, Living Atlas, and Leaflet, and connect it to the three major concepts in the course; storytelling, visual hierarchy, and data wizardry

Step $1$: Discover$/$find a problem

$-$

Step $2$: Think about a story you want to tell about these data $-$ what kinds of visualizations$/$maps you want to use

$-$

Step $3$: Find$/$Collect Data About these Issues

$-$

Step $4$: Massage or finesse these data into a platform of your choice $($in this case we won't be doing Leaflet because I didn't teach you how to use your own data$)$

$-$

Step $5$: Use visual hierarchy principles to create your story

$-$

Step $6$: Use words, images, and other resources to tell your story

$-$

I prefer not to place too many fetters on you $-$ Story Maps are designed for creativity.

The outline below is a suggestion $-$ people have done really fun Story Maps that aren't related to Covid as well

$-$

$1.$ Please put together a Story Map that includes maps from your first two mastery problems $($We won't be including Leaflet here$)$

$-$

$2.$ The Story Map should be structured through the six steps listed above

$-$

$3.$ You should discuss storytelling, visual hierarchy, and data wizardry $-$ explaining how you APPLIED these concepts in the maps you made in the mastery projects

$-$

I$\text{'}$m not expecting you to create new maps $-$ UNLESS I specifically told you to make corrections when I graded your mastery assignments

$-$

Again $-$ I expect you to creatively put together your maps with the core course concepts using Story Maps

$-$

Use the six$-$step template above as inspiration

$-$

Please submit the link to your story map and make sure I can view it
