Plot and Setting of a Story
Plot is what happens in a story. A strong plot focuses on a moment (a break in a pattern, a turning point) that raises a
dramatic question that must be answered as the story progresses.
Setting is a time and place where the story occurs. It can be real or imaginary.
How to Tell a Fabulous Story with your Data?
Data storytelling is a structured approach to transmitting knowledge from
data and invariably involves a combination of three key elements: data,
visualization, and storytelling. When accompanied by data, the story helps
the audience explain what is happening in the data and why a particular
perception was generated. When applying visuals to data, the audience can
be enlightened by information that they would not get without tables or
graphs. When storytelling and imagery merge, they can ultimately attract
or even entertain an audience. When you combine the right visuals and
stories with the right data, you have a data story that can influence and
stimulate change.

What are the three main elements of a data storytelling?
Conflict and Resolution
Conflict can be defined as a clash between two opposing forces that creates the narrative thread for a story. It is the
most exciting and engaging drive in any story. In a business or our daily life, users or the audience are always trying to
resolve a conflict. All decisions must be made after the conflict is resolved. Each question answered in the data narrative
is finding evidence of a conflict. We also saw and learned how to set up the story by giving proper titles, how to highlight
and bring the focus towards conflict, and finally resolution. The resolution is the end of the storytelling.
The following skills can be used to resolve conflict in data storytelling:
1. Communication 2. Teamwork 3. Problem Solving
4. Stress management 5. Emotional agility
Brainy Fact
In 2016, Whirlpool launched its campaign ‘Care Counts’. Whirlpool installed washers and dryers in schools
because it found that around 4000 students were dropping out of school annually due to a lack of clean
clothes. The campaign used data storytelling to show how Whirlpool products could provide a better world
through clean clothing. This campaign was a success as it led to higher graduation rates.
