Part I:
Incorporation of Visuals into Reports
Directions
Using two visuals (one "stolen"researched one and one that you create on your own (chart/graph/diagram),perform the steps of visual incorporation as discussed in the module's lecture two times total, once for each visual.Also,create a list of illustrations for your two visuals.Please read the steps carefully for tips.
Step 1: Find one researched visual that pertains to your report’s purpose.
Step 2: Write aheadingfor the section in which the image would appear. (Tip: Insert a text box for heading. Use Wrap Text feature for formatting.)
Step 3:Then, write thecopysection (aka “chunk” or “paragraph”) above or to the left of the image that describes the picture and your point. Include asignal phrasein this copy.(Tip: To develop this paragraph’s content, breakdown the visual’s information using specific analysis. If you are looking at numbers, give a full, complete explanation of the numbers. Don’t simply summarize in the paragraph. TECH TIP: Insert a text box for the copy. Use Wrap Text feature for formatting.)
Step 4:Title your picture(placement=your CONSISTENT choice). Add afigure #andcaptionthat reflects your report’s slant/purpose below your image. Keep items consistent with all other images and figures. (Tip: Remember, caption text boxes should be the same size as the visual and the font should be significantly smaller than the font of your paragraph.)
NOW REPEAT THE PROCESS FOR THE NEXT VISUAL.
Step 5: Once you completed the “researched” visual incorporation, create a chart/graph using numbers you have researched about your topic. Play with various graph options in Word.
Step 6:Write aheading.
Step 7:Write acopyandsignal phrasefor the graph.
Step 8:Add atitle(placement=your choice, consistent with prior title placement),figure #, andcaptionthat reflects your report’s slant/purpose for the graph. Keep items consistent.
Step 9:Be sure to title and label all parts of the chart/graph.
Step 10:Create a mini “List of Illustrations” using both visuals. Include the figure number of your visual and title of your visual. Also, make up page numbers for these visuals.
Use samples, lecture, and text box tutorial for additional help(see the attachment).
Important:
1. This assignment is Visual Report that focus on business problem. So the papershould not have too much of a loose definition, rather than a focus on one company's problem.
2.For visuals, your list of illustrations titles must match figure titles in report
Part II:
Using the Visual Incorporation(part I you made) and this week's word choice and pronoun checklists(see the attachment),revise your visual incorporation project,focusing on tweaking your word choice and creating a more professional tone.You MUST use the word choice checklist in the module to revamp your work.
You will be graded solely on content and mechanics,not design.
Part III (about 250 words is good enough, and only this part will due on 11/11):
Write a question regarding the lecture,resources,samples,or assignments(Part II).Don't just write a one-line question.Expand,discuss,elaborate.A good individual post should be a decent paragraph(please don't make me count sentences or ask me how many sentences should be in a paragraph).Just make a nice chunk of discussion.
If you don't have a question,bring an experience,resource,or your own expertise regarding the lecture to the discussion board.Again,make a good chunk of discussion that fully elaborates on your piece of information.
