Example StoryMaps
These are some example StoryMaps that have fantastic formating and are a good example of the use of the platform. StoryMaps don't need to be overly complex or filled with complicated maps in order to be fantastic - here are some things to keep in mind:
- The use of headers! It makes it easier for readers and divides the project up into sections
- Using maps and media as a way to support the thesis/research question
- Do you ask a question or pose a research topic and answer it by the end?
- Taking the time to do some design! Not just the default font with minimal formatting.
- Citiations are in the sources section!
