Data Table:

1. Search online and find a data table that is interesting to you, copy it, and paste it into a Word document.

2. Cite your source. This copied and pasted material is not your own, so it needs to be cited. You must include a reference, or the URL, of where you found the table. Do not worry about using a formal citation (MLA, APA) for this.

3. Write a paragraph describing the contents of the table. Pay attention to each row and column and fully describe or summarize what you see.

4. Write a paragraph interpreting and analyzing the table. Would this data be better displayed in a different format? Do you notice any trends? How would you explain what the table is trying to show overall?

Data Graph:

1. Search online and find a data graph that is interesting to you, copy it, and paste it into a Word document.

2. Cite your source. This copied and pasted material is not your own, so it needs to be cited. You must include a reference, or the URL, of where you found the table. Do not worry about using a specific format (e.g. MLA) for this.

3. Write a paragraph describing the contents of the graph. Pay attention the format and how the information is displayed and describe what you see.

4. Write a paragraph interpreting and analyzing the graph. Do you see any bias present? Explain.
