Question

I need to make like a newsworthy story but it has to be graphic.. like a bar graph.. it has to be on something job related on something in my Town of Kalamazoo. Does anyone have any ideas what I could research and do my bargraph on?

Answer 1

Recently the <i>Kalamazoo Gazette</i> has published graphs and charts about the effect of the Kalamazoo Promise. I believe they showed statistics related to high school graduation and college success. You might also find charts and graphs for MEAP and other test scores.

Here's one.

Answer 2

so if I made a chart based off one of these charts already used.. would that be considered plagiarism?

Answer 3

It would be plagiarism as long as you cited your source.

Answer 4

It would ~not~ be plagiarism if you cite your source.
Aside from editing the awesome Ms. Sue, You might make a chart which tracks the accuracy of the initial projected effect charts of the policies, compared to their real life results.
