Reflection 1

Describing graphs.

We use a basic 3-paragraph construction, i.e. introduction, c. 25 words, main body, c. 100 words, and conclusion, c. 25 words.

We started with pie charts, then moved on to bar graphs, tables & line graphs.

The line/time graph of busy times on the London Underground/tube (on HD1 website) gives useful vocabulary to the moving cursor.

It's important not just to describe the graphs/charts but also to extrapolate some kind of generalisation or observation of an outstanding trend or feature of the graph/table.
