Homework 7 & 8: Sketch 2 Data Storytelling Studio: Climate Change

  • The audience you want to make something for (remember "general public" is an unacceptable audience!)
  • Good but not required: one abstract word in your data story that you need help representing in concrete ways ("inequality", "hate", "asylum", etc.)

Finish your sketch.
