What I Need to Know
Introduction
With the advent of technology and massive exposure to social media,
we can access different reading materials with just one tap of our fingertips.
However, we are also amenable to the fact that most of us pay less attention
to their words and prefer to go directly to the graphics alongside to what we
are supposed to read. Thus, as readers, it is essential for us to develop our
skills to deepen our engagement and understanding with the material we
are reading because the information that we can find in it is the key to the
interpretation process.

What’s In
In your previous lesson, you learned that emotive language refers to word
choices that are actually designed to stir up emotional responses. Its main
purpose is to convince the reader or listener to share the writer or speaker’s
point of view using language that stimulates an emotional reaction.
We often encounter these words in public speaking, creative writing,
fictional and non-fictional writing and even on daily conversations. Most of
these words are adjectives, verbs and adverbs. For example, the words
irritated, amused and strongly denote strong impact if used in sentences.
With this learning, you are now ready to discover new concepts and
skills that would enable you to explain, interpret and relate visual and
verbal relationships illustrated in tables, graphs and information maps
found in expository texts.
What’s New
Directions: Read the text below and closely observe entries in the graph. Then,
answer the questions that follow. Write your answer on a separate
sheet of paper.

The Earth’s Crust
The crust is the outer layer of the Earth which is composed of various elements
essential to human existence. There are 8 major elements found in it. These are
Oxygen (47%), Silicon (28%), Aluminum (8%), Iron (5%), Calcium (3.5%), Sodium
(3%), Potassium (2.5%) and Magnesium (2%). The remaining one percent is a
combination of all other rare elements which is important to humans including
copper, gold, uranium and silver.

What is It
When you try to relay data and bits of information, you cannot just
simply display words and numbers on a piece of paper and expect that your
readers and audience will fully understand everything you want to communicate
to them. It is important to have the ability to interpret, analyze and explain
different data from various graphical representations in an expository text
because it will enhance your skills in dealing with multifarious and complex
academic tasks. Thus, in order to achieve competence on this component, you
should be familiar with the meanings and key concepts on this particular lesson.

1. A table is a visual representation of data or information in rows and
columns.
2.1. Bar graphs are mostly helpful when you want to show relationships
between series of different data that are independent of each other.

Interpretation: The bar graph shows the Remote Enrollment Data of Incoming
Grade 8 Students of Pigcawayan NHS in 3 days. It can be observed that day 1 has
the highest recorded total number of enrollees. And the day 3 has the least total
number or enrollees.

2.2. Line graphs are used when you want to represent changes of data over a
period. This type of graph is useful in demonstrating numbers or trends
that are interconnected.

Grade 8 Students of Pigcawayan NHS in 3 days. It can be observed
that day 1 has the highest recorded total number of enrollees and the
day 3 has the least total number of enrollees.
2.3. Pie charts are utilized to visualize how the whole was divided into various
parts in which each segment of the pie is particularly a category within
the total data set. In this way, it represents a percentage distribution.

Interpretation: The pie chart above shows the total medals distribution of
Philippines during the Sea games. There were 149 Gold medals, 117
silver medals and 121 bronze medals distributed by our country during
Sea games.
Interpretation: The above concept map shows the famous tourists spots in
Bangkok, Thailand. There are five famous tourist spots.

1. Scan and read the title, heading, or caption to recognize the entries being
compared.
2. Pay attention to each label and legend to identify the specific object being
compared.
3. When reading the text, identify its purpose before scrutinizing the tables,
graphs or maps.
4. Use the purpose set before the text and look at the specific areas of the tables,
graphs or maps.
5. Reread the section of the text that refers to the graph to validate the
correctness of the data.
14
Graphical representations provide an easy, organized and unique way of
presenting large amount of data to be presented in just one space or in a lengthy
article. Also, readers will benefit from these graphics because it will provide a
clearer picture of the things the text wants to convey to its audience.
