Hints:
1. Pick a location to collect your information.  Use Word, Google Docs, your blog or any form of data collection.  
2. Make your collection accessible from home. 
3. Get the data collection done quickly.  It will take you more time to put together a good, creative presentation than to collect your information.

Period 7 Assignment for May 3rd

These are links to your graphs.  Look through all of the graphs.  Compile a list of at least 10 conclusions you can draw from these graphs.  Five of the conclusions need to be about you personally.

HINTS:
Conclusions are not spitting back information represented in the graph.  I want you to draw your own conclusions. 

Example of a conclusion personal to you......I do not plan on going to college when I graduate.  However, I plan on completing a certification in supervision.  In Kokomo the outlook for job growth is -4%.  If I am going to live in Kokomo, I need to think about another career choice.  If I still get the certification I had planned on, I need to find a city that has a positive outlook for job growth.

Bolded sentences in the example above would count as 2 personal conclusions.
