Discussion 1: The map on the home screen is accompanied by the text shown above. Click the thumbnail to read the text. You'll notice that the passage includes terminology with which a general audience is likely to be unfamiliar. Rewrite the passage so that is more suitable for a nonscientific audience, ensuring that it serves as a helpful introduction to the tool for anyone who might encounter it

Discussion 2: Watch the video above. You'll see that users can adjust the transparency of the map so that they can see place names, major highways, and other identifying information. Do you think you would have known how to adjust the transparency just by perusing the various navigation tools? How could this particular feature of the map be better designed in order to make its purpose clearer to users?

Discussion 3: What organizational patterns can you identify in the mapping tool? How effective are they? Are there other patterns the creators of the tool might have used to organize this information? If so, which ones?

Discussion 4: Consider the color coding used in the map's legend, shown above. Do you find this color scheme useful and intuitive? Why or why not? Would you alter it in any way?

Discussion 5: Revisit the definition of "informational report" provided in the introduction to Chapter 17. In what ways does the Global Forest Change map tool meet this definition? In what ways does it differ from what you might expect from an informational report? Explain how the presentation medium-an interactive graphic-helps the researchers achieve their purpose.
