 I. INTRODUCTION TO THE LESSON
Hi learners! Welcome to this module that will help you in learning a new lesson. By the
way, congratulations on reaching Learning Competency No. 10.
After studying about the different features of the various kinds of concept papers (which
you have learned from the previous material), this module will guide you on how you can present
your novel concept or project. This can be achieved through the use of visuals/ graphic aids.
Here, you will be given a walk through on what graphic/ visual aids you can use in
presenting your concept paper and how you can effectively maximize the advantages you can
get through using them.

II. OBJECTIVE
Present a novel concept or project with accompanying visual/ graphic aids.

III. VOCABULARY LIST

● Graphic Aids - also visual aids. Can be used interchangeably with the term, visual aids
● Visual Aids - an instructional device (such as a chart, map, or model) that appeals chiefly to
vision (Merriam– Webster Dictionary)
● Concept Paper– a summary of what a project is all about, the reasons for conducting the
project and how it will be carried out.
● Novel - (adjective) new and not resembling something formerly known or used

__________3. A graphic aid that arranges data using rows and columns.
__________4. Line, and bar are common examples of this widely used graphic aid.
__________5. This graphic aid can be best used in presenting data about areas and locations.

V. LEARNING
CONCEPTS
According to Barrot and Sipacio (2016), visuals can be classified into six groups as shown
below:

Graphic/ Visual Aids

Charts Tables Graphs Diagram Visual Maps

s Images

The Northen Arizona University in its online platform, explained that many technical pieces
of writing have two main kinds of material which are:
1. the written portion of the document, the prose
2. graphic material that supports the prose

The prose and the graphic material should go hand in hand to make the presentation
clearer for the audience or the reader. Typically, readers read the prose first and would go looking
for some graphics to search for more information or even clarifications. This is why the graphic
portion of any document is essential. It is likewise necessary that these graphic materials should
provide clarity, not confusion.

Reminder: General
Guidelines for Adding
Barrot and Sipacio (2016) presents the following as some of the basic rules in adding
Visuals to your Text
diagrams to your text.
1. Determine the purpose of the visual.
2. Evaluate the accuracy and validity of the data.
3. Visuals should be accompanied by clear references within your text (e.g. as shown in
Figure 4, the…)
4. Visuals should be placed on the same page as the text references. Complex visuals
should be placed in the page opposite the text reference.

3
 5. Preferably, position the visual vertically.
6. Make your visual as simple and self-explanatory as possible by adding data labels.
7. If the visuals are colored, go for basic contrasting colors which are easy on the eyes,
as much as possible avoid adding patterns and textures as well as neon color.

THE GRAPHIC/
VISUAL AIDS
CHARTS
Usually, a chart uses lines, boxes, and arrows when presenting data. Its principal purpose
is to show ranks, levels, classifications, and orders.
The two most common charts are the organizational charts (also called organigram or
organogram) which can be found in many offices, and the other one is the flow chart that tells
about processes, orders, and steps. Look at the examples that follow.

Organizational Chart of the Office of the President of the Republic of the Philippines

Source: http://op-proper.gov.ph/organizational-chart/

This organizational chart presents the offices that function under the Office of the
President. The levels shown in this chart make it easier for a reader to understand which offices
function higher than the others.

4
Reminder:
Organizational Chart
1. The right size. Charts that are too large in size can be overwhelming. Three charts that
Tips from Microsft.com
are clear will always be better than one overloaded chart. This way, the audience can take
their time to understand the structure and when they’re ready, they can just check out the
other departments or divisions.
2. The right shapes and colors. Using the same shape for the same level or department
can be a big help for the audience to understand the organization better. This rule also
goes to the use of colors.
3. The right information. Additional information about the staff such as contact information,
location, and specialties is also a way to help readers get a full advantage of looking at an
organization chart.

Since a flow chart illustrates processes or steps, the template below which is an adaptation
of Barrot and Sipacio’s (2016) can be easily applied and used.

START OF PROCESS

STEP 1

STEP 2

STEP 3

Is the output
correct?

END OF PROCESS

 Reminder: Useful Tips in
Preparing a Flow Chart
1. Summarize the entire procedure. Present only the key points and integral steps.
2. Just like in making an organizational chart, it is needed to limit the types of shapes to be
used. Remember that rectangles refer to an event which is a part of the process, while
diamonds show a point where one has to make a decision, oftentimes, responding to a
yes-no question. Lastly, rounded boxes are used to mark the start or end of a process.
3. Legends should be provided when needed.
4. Let the chart flow from left to right or from top to bottom.
5. Keep the flow chart simple and comprehensive.

TABLES

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines tables as systematic arrangement of data usually

in rows and columns for ready reference. A row is a list of items presented straight across a table
while a column presents data vertically.

The SI units of measurement

Source:https://public-blog.nrc-gateway.gov/2014/01/27/nrc-science-101-quantities-and-units-of-measure/

In reading and interpreting a table, it is important that the title was understood since it is
the primary source as to what the table is about. Whether the data presented are updated or not,
checking will not harm. Since many tables present numerical data, they also have to be accurate.

GRAPHS
According to reference.com, graphs are meant to be focused on the data in question and
how they trend. They have exact numerical figures shown on axes, usually organized on the left
and bottom of the graph. Common graph types include dot-and-line and bar graphs. Graphs are
most commonly used in analyses and situations that call for raw and exact. Some of the common
types of graphs are: bar, line, pie, and pictograph.

 In describing a graph, certain collocations are used to better relay what the graph is all
about. The chart below provides the words/ expressions that can be used.

Verb Adverb Verb Adjective + Noun

grow (grew) slightly drop (dropped) a slight drop
rise (rose) gradually fall (fell) a gradual fall

Examples:
● The percentage of consumers who prefer buying pork over fish rose steadily in week 1
but dropped slightly on the following week.
● A sharp decrease was noted in using an anti-virus software for newly bought laptops this
month.

Reminders when Making a Graph

1. Whether be it a line, a pie, or a bar, limit the number of elements in the graph. Too many
lines, slices, and bars can be confusing to the readers and may present erroneous data
instead.
2. Aesthetics is important so keep the width of the lines, graphs, or pictures consistent.
3. When making a bar graph, spaces between bars may be clearer. However, if the data
to be presented are many and yet essential to be on one graph together, these spaces
may be omitted.
4. Arrange the data logically. Follow a particular sequence (i.e. ascending or descending).
5. Provide legends if necessary.

8
DIAGRAMS
A drawing that shows arrangements and relations is called a diagram. Merriam- Webster
Dictionary also defines diagram as a graphic design that explains rather than represents.
The Venn Diagram is probably one of the most popular types of diagram due to its
simplicity yet ability to summarize details.

VISUAL IMAGES
Visual images are pictures or photographs. Providing visual images to reports and concept
papers can surely support and in some cases, add information. If taken well, these images can
likewise add aesthetics to the output.
Here is one good example of using visual images in a report. This is a page in a
multinational company’s annual report. Notice how the photographs intensified the over all effect
to anyone who may read it.

 Reminders in Adding Visual Images to Reports

1. Add only the appropriate and relevant photos. Consider the most suited photos to the
topics discussed. Too many photos can make your report more like a photo album.
2. Lay-outing is important. It means how the images shall be positioned on the paper. It has
to be near the part that it supports or add information to.
3. The quality of the photo should also be considered. They have to be clear, clean, and
comprehensible so a blurry photo is a big NO.
4. Taking photos can be difficult. Help should always come in handy if there are friends and
acquaintances who are passionate about photography or photojournalism. The angles,
light exposure, and perspectives are just some of the technicalities. However,
downloading photos from the internet will save time and effort but never forget to give
credits.

MAPS

Maps can be common addition to reports especially when presenting data about places
or areas. Since maps are usually presented with numerical data, using them can somehow break
the monotony of numbers in a presentation.

This presentation shows recorded cases of Novel Corona Virus (COVID-19) in the Bicol
region as of July 13, 2020. There are two graphic aids used in this report: a table and a map.
Which do you think delivers clearer and more comprehensive information?

and Taekwondo as she has to decide on which she wants to learn for the summer
vacation. Here are the similarities and differences she has identified.
● Karate uses more hand attacks compared to Taekwondo that involves more
kicking, jumping, and spinning
● In Karate, the legs are grounded most of the time. In Taekwondo, kicking is the
main attack so the legs are hardly grounded.
● Kicks are just back-up moves while in Taekwondo, hands are the back-ups.
● Both require patience and discipline.
● Both offer rigorous training and work-out
