Looking Beyond the Story Design

Alternative Story Forms There are several types of alternative story forms (also called alts, charticles and information graphics) that enhance the information, understanding and visual appeal of a traditional story. Self Discovery: Look around the room, in your textbook, or through a newspaper, magazine or yearbook. What types of alternative story forms do you see? What do they do to enhance the information and visual appeal of the story?

Alternative Story Forms Some common types of alternative story forms include: Timelines Quizzes Diagrams Q & A’s Charts Illustrations Fact Boxes Calendars Checklists Bio Boxes Tables Infographics Charticles Quote Boxes

Alternative Story Forms Alternative Story forms enhance information, understanding and visual appeal by: Simplifying complex information in an easy-to- understand format Adding context and depth that is difficult to incorporate into the actual story Adding entry points into the page or story Providing cues of what the story is about Adding visual appeal

The Daily Breeze In early 2014, The Daily Breeze published a series of stories about Centinela Valley schools chief Jose Fernandez. Read this primary story: affairs/ /centinela-valley-schools-chief-amassed in-compensation-in-2013 Self Discovery: What types of alternative story forms did they use to enhance the information and help tell this story?

The Daily Breeze Your list should have included the following alternative story forms: A bar graph showing Fernandez’s change in salary over the years A chart comparing the salaries of area superintendents A comparison of Ferndandez vs. Deasy

The Daily Breeze Self Discovery: Referencing the list below, what other types of alternative story forms would have been beneficial? Provide some context into what your Alts would include, e.g. a bio box of Fernandez and his accomplishments at Centinela Valley. Timelines Quizzes Diagrams Q & A’s Charts Illustrations Fact Boxes Calendars Checklists Bio Boxes Tables Infographics Charticles Quote Boxes

The Daily Breeze Some Alt Story Form ideas might include: A timeline of events starting with Fernandez’s hiring highlighting salary increases A chart comparing teacher raises vs. Fernandez’s raises A chart comparing what the school has cut back on vs. Fernandez’s raises Quote collections from community stakeholders A pie chart showing breakdown of district spending including Fernandez’s salary

The Daily Breeze Alt Story Form ideas (continued): A deeper comparison of area superintendents, their jobs, schools, contracts and compensation A timeline or chart examining the school board — when they were appointed and how they have voted on key issues including Fernandez’s salary increases A comparison of Fernandez’s job/salary vs. other top-paying jobs/careers across the country A comparison of jobs/salaries: Fernandez vs. Obama

The Daily Breeze Assignment (continued): Option A: 4a.) Hand draw (with shading and coloring) a comprehensive Alt of the sketch your teacher approved.
