+
+## Setup your environment
+
+```{r}
+
+# Load required libraries
+
+library(tidyverse)
+
+```
+
+## Load your data
+
+```{r}
+
+# data comes from https://int.nyt.com/newsgraphics/2017/2017-07-17-got-matrix/mean.json
+# data based on ratings using tool at https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/08/09/upshot/game-of-thrones-chart.html
+
+got <- read_csv("data/got_ratings.csv")
+
+```
+
+## Create a basic plot
+
+```{r}
+
+# a plot should include:
+# - a call to ggplot()
+# - a dataset
+# - a call to aes(), including the main x and y variables
+# - a geom layer that specifies the type of chart or shape
+
+```
+
+## Set the size of all points to 5
+
+```{r}
+
+# hint: check ?geom_point to see the different aesthetics options available, but think carefully
+# about where the new option should go in the function
+
+
+```
+
+## Set the alpha (transparency) of all points to .75
+
+```{r}
+
+
+```
+
+## Add labels
+
+```{r}
+
+# hint: check https://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/reference/#section-layer-geoms for all geom options
+
+
+
+```
+
+## Fix label overlap
+
+```{r}
+
+# hint: look at ?geom_text for a property that might change the position slightly
+# once you've found something to try, be careful: are you adding a new variable, or is it a constant change?
+
+
+
+```
+
+## Add colors
+
+```{r}
+
+# add gender as a color three different ways:
+# - points only
+# - labels only
+# - both
+
+
+
+```
+
+## Turn off legend for text layer
+
+```{r}
+
+# hint: there is another property for the geom_text layer that might help
+
+
+
+```
+
+
+## Switch direction of Y axis
+
+```{r}
+
+# hint: edits to axes often use scales
+# check https://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/reference/#section-scales for pre-built scales 
+# that might help (focus on scales for the y-axis)
+
+
+
+```
+
+## Add reference lines
+
+```{r}
+
+# hint: there are special geoms for straight lines;
+# check https://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/reference/#section-layer-geoms for all geom options
+
+
+
+```
+
+```{r}
+
+# look at how ggplot2 is layering the plot; rearrange layers as needed
+
+
+
+```
+
+## Change the theme
+
+```{r}
+
+# Try to find a theme closer to the NYT chart;
+# see https://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/reference/#section-themes for built-in themes
+
+
+
+```
+
+## Change axis limits
+
+```{r}
+
+# the chart might look better if the axes go all the way from 0 to 1; edit
+# the axes to force them to include 0 and 1
+# hint: remember that changes to axes usually involve a scale
+
+
+
+```
+
+## Annotate the axes with descriptive text
+
+```{r}
+
+# hint: geoms are typically best for chart elements involving data;
+# look for another feature that can add text to charts
+# https://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/reference/
+
+
+
+```
+
+## Add a main title
+
+```{r}
+
+# check https://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/reference/ for likely layers
+
+
+```
