Graphs, such as maps, tables, or diagrams, give more information about the text. Find the key points in the graphs:
- What does the graph represent? Describe the topic of the graph in your own words, e.g. ”The table shows -.”
- Where is the trend or development in the graph heading?
- Look for sudden or surprising changes in the trend.
- Find the extremes: the largest or smallest numbers or proportions.
- Identify the differences or similarities between groups.
