Choose a topic that is fruitfully explained with some combination of narrative and geographic elements. Think about what data you want to tell a story about.

Many other cities, counties, states, and countries have dedicated data portals as well. Here are a couple of lists of state-sponsored open data sites:

Use one of the template story maps in the templates/ folder, modified as you see fit, to explain your topic.
Your story will have multiple slides, each with a title, some additional text, maybe images, and geographic data. Some parts of your slide content will go straight into your HTML, and other parts will go into a JavaScript structure to be placed on your map when the corresponding HTML content is visible.
Commit your code and push it to your repository on GitHub. Set up GitHub pages on the repository and submit the link to both the GitHub Repository and the live site on GitHub Pages via the assignment on the class Canvas.
