  • What is the key message? 
  • What prior knowledge is needed?
  • How will you tell your story? 
  • What sources are utilized to provide the information? 
  • Are you using data? Are you collecting your own data? If yes, how will you analyze it? 
  • What tools will you use to visualize the data?
  1. Identify your topic.
