7. Ways to interpret graphics in expository text:
1. Photographs and illustrations
A photograph will provide a literal
snapshot of the person, place, or thing being
discussed. An illustration is a drawing or
sketch. Both provide visual interpretations of
concepts and facts that serve to increase
overall understanding of the material.
It is important to use the photographs and
illustrations in a text to deepen engagement
with the material. It also requires paying
attention to any captions or titles added to the
picture.
8. Ways to interpret graphics in
expository text:
2. Charts and Graphs
They are usually used to present data.
Charts and Graphs also allow unique
organization of data being presented.
It is important to understand what data is
included (type, amount, etc.) Knowing what is
included in the chart helps readers understand
the material more effectively.
9. Ways to interpret graphics in
expository text:
3. Diagrams and Timelines
Diagrams and timelines are useful to
demonstrate processes (How plant goes from
a seed to a seedling to a full-grown plant.)
Timelines are important in the presentation of
events throughout time because they can
show the passage of many years on a
continuum.
They are useful because they help to
illustrate the facts and information. It is
important to use captions and labels to
decipher exactly what information is included
in the graphic.

Activity 5: Fill Me In
Brad woke up late today. The electricity went out the night before, which caused his
alarm to not go off at the right time. As Brad was getting dressed, his belt broke. He also
noticed there was a small stain on the front of his shirt. He didn’t have time to fix either of
the problems. Since Brad had slept through his alarm, the bus had left without him and he
was forced to ride his bike to school. Luckily, he was able to jump into his first period seat
right when the bell rang. As he began to ask the girl in the desk next to him for a pencil, his
teacher reprimanded him for not having the warm-up for that day’s class finished. She then
noticed that his shirt was untucked. The teacher began to fill out a referral for Brad not
following dress-code. Seeing this, Brad pushed back his chair and stormed out of the
classroom.
Directions: Read and understand the text well. Write the cause and
effects of Brad’s coming to school late.
