Graphic Representations of Information Graphic representations of data can come in the form of charts, graphs, maps, drawings or photos. All charts and graphs have the same goal: to represent numerical information visually so that the viewer can easily be informed and make judgments based on the data represented. A pie chart represents a concept in the form of a circle where the circle is divided up into representational portions according to the data (given in percentages). Example Use the pie chart to answer the question. The pie chart breaks down the data collected on the most popular months for families to go camping. Which was the most popular month for families to go camping? Facts are based on real, provable events, or situations. Opinions are beliefs which are based on personal ideas, judgments or thoughts rather than on indisputable facts. It can be difficult to tell when a writer’s work is fact or opinion when they personally believe that their strong opinions are facts. Biases and stereotypes can alter a writer’s ability to draw accurate conclusions. Biases are ideas or opinions that can cloud a person’s judgment and prevent a person from making fair judgments. Stereotypes are oversimplified opinions about entire groups of people or things which do not take into account individual differences. Critical reading is used to carefully analyze a text, judge its credibility and determine the author’s intentions in writing. The most popular month for camping was April, given that it takes up the largest portion of the pie chart. 1.2 Craft and Structure 1.2.1 Facts, Opinions, Biases, and Stereotypes
