2) Show trends
3) Show comparisons
4) Show relationships
5) Clarify difficulty concepts
Types of Nonlinear Texts (3 - GTI)
1) Graph
2) Tables
3) Information maps
Types of Graph (4 - CBPL)
1) Circle Graph
2) Bar Graph
3) Pictograph
4) Line Graph
These are the representation of data represented by symbols or legends.
Graphs
It is around-shaped diagram that is divided into fractions that look like pieces of a pie, so sometimes it is called a pie graph.
Circle Graph
It uses bars to show data. The bars can be vertical (up & down), or horizontal (across). The data can be in words or numbers.
Bar Graph
It is one of the most visually appealing types of graphs and charts that display numerical information with the use of icons or picture symbols to represent data sets.
Pictograph
It displays data that changes continuously over time.
Line Graph
It consists of points that connect data to show a trend.
Line Graph
These have an x-axis and a y-axis.
Line Graph
These are structured for organizing and displaying information, with data arranged in columns and rows.
Tables
Information is displayed as text, using words and numbers, and grid lines may be present or not.
Tables
These are ways of visually representing relationships between information, ideas, and concepts.
Information Maps
They are sometimes called knowledge map or graphic organizers.
Information Maps
It is great for helping to find similarities and differences between concepts.
Venn Diagram
It is a diagram that shows the structure of an organization and the relationships and relative ranks of its parts and positions.
Organizational Chart
It is used to show hierarchy.
Organizational Chart
This is used to brainstorm an idea or topic using related information.
