She went to her best friend’s house to study. When she got there, she started to wonder how big her best friend’s dog Jasper had gotten. They went outside and rode their bikes for twenty minutes. When they went back to study, her best friend, Sam, wondered when her legs would stop hurting. They ate dinner after studying and then she went home.
What is the Point of View?
Visual Information "A picture is worth a thousand words." This is certainly true
when you're presenting and explaining data. You can provide tables setting out the figures, and you can talk about numbers, percentages, and relationships forever. However, the chances are that your point will be lost if you rely on these alone. Put up a graph or a chart, and suddenly everything you're saying makes sense!
Graphs or charts help people understand data quickly. Whether you want to make a comparison, show a relationship, or highlight a trend, they help your audience "see" what you are talking about.
Visual information can include charts, graphs, time lines, diagrams, and web animations.
This type of information is useful for connecting key ideas in a text and explaining complex topics.
This week we will learn more about how different kinds of visual information can increase your understanding of texts.
