Introduction
- Charts make data easier to understand. So firstly, charts should be neat and clear, well-labelled (series, axis, title) and readable (colours/size).
- But charts should also make people think about the data. Therefore, the charts should highlight something important, insightful or unusual.
- Charts should make people think. When you show what is happening with a professional chart and explain why it happened with thorough research, you have made a thoughtful project.
Chart Comparison
Which one of these charts highlights better information? Which one clearly shows changes that are happening in Canada?
or
Discussion
- I think that the second one offers more choices for discussion:
- What is happening in Nova Scotia? https://www.google.ca/search?q=nova+scotia+population+change+2009..2013&oq=nova+scotia+population+change+2009..2013&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l3.13248j0j4&sourceid=chrome&espv=210&es_sm=119&ie=UTF-8
- Why is Alberta growing so much? https://www.google.ca/search?q=alberta+growth&cr=countryCA&espv=210&es_sm=119&biw=1271&bih=517&sa=X&ei=TtKvUuiBBsm62AXm-YC4CQ&ved=0CB4QpwUoBg&source=lnt&tbs=ctr%3AcountryCA%2Ccdr%3A1%2Ccd_min%3A2000%2
- What about Saskatchewan? https://www.google.ca/?gws_rd=cr&ei=2KOwUtKGDqrJygG9hoDgBw#q=saskatchewan+population&tbm=nws
- Saying something like "Saskatchewan is experiencing a surprising growth rate because it has the highest job vacancy rate in Canada" is informative and shares useful information with the reader. Remember to prove a citation from http://www.citethisforme.com.
