Is there a way
to
communicate
information
without writing a big, long
paragraph? |
| |
|
Yes there is!
A chart can be used to
communicate
information.
It communicates
information in a different way.
A chart gives
information by using a table.
A chart is made up of
rows, which
go across,
and columns, which
go down.
The rows contain one type of
information.
The columns contain another type
of information.
The number of
rows and
columns is determined by
how much information you are
showing.
Let's take a look at how to
communicate
information using a chart!
Before we continue with our lesson,
you may want to stop and
reread the
information above!

I could have written
a big, long paragraph to
communicate
this
information.
Here's what it would have looked like:
This is Timmy's Summer Sports Schedule. It shows the sport he has
to go to, the day he has the sport on, and the time the sport
occurs. On Monday, he goes to
swimming at 8 o'clock. On Tuesday, he goes to basketball at 9
o'clock. On Wednesday, he goes to soccer at 10 o'clock. On Thursday,
he goes to baseball at 11 o'clock. On Friday, he goes to volleyball
at 12 o'clock. This is Timmy's Summer Sports Schedule.

As you can see
 ,
the chart gives the same
information as the
paragraph.
The chart is a different, and
perhaps easier, way
of looking
at this information. Now let's practice putting information
onto a chart
by
reading the paragraph it came from.
