Guide in Using PIVOT Learners Material Module
For the facilitator:

Welcome to the English for Academic and Professional Purposes Alternative Delivery
Mode (ADM) Module on Interpreting and Preparing Visuals!

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators both
from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator in helping
the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming their
personal, social, and economic constraints in schooling.

 I What I need to know?
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you
Interpret and Prepare Visuals. The scope of this module permits it to be used in many
different learning situations. The language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level
of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. But
the order in which you read them can be changed to correspond with the textbook you
are now using.

The module is focused on:

 Lesson 10: Interpreting and Preparing Visuals

 Content Standard: The learner understands the principles and uses of a concept
paper.

 Performance Standard: The learner produces a well-balanced concept paper in a

specific discipline.

After going through this module, you are expected to:

 Identify the different types of diagrams as visual aids.

 Use the appropriate diagram for a specific information.

 Interpret information in diagrams

 Present a novel concept or project with accompanying visuals/graphic aids.

1
 I What is new?
The presentation of your data requires organization so as not to confuse readers.
Therefore, in presenting data from surveys, interviews, or experiments, tables, charts,
and graphs, may be used. A Graphic Aid (also known as Visual Aid) is any image that
assists the reader in understanding the text. They often enhance information from the
text and sometimes supply information not found in the text.

Here are different visual/graphic aids that you may use in presenting your data:

I. Charts

A. Organizational Chart

B. Flow Chart

II. Tables

III. Graphs

A. Bar Graph

B. Line Graph

C. Pie Graph

 D What I know?
Directions: Check the column that determines how often you practice what the statements say. Do this as
objectively as possible. Bear in mind that there are no wrong answers.

1. I know how charts, tables and

graphs differ.
2. I use a certain visual to highlight an
aspect of my data.

 D What is it?
I. Charts
A chart is a graphical representation of data using symbols that are usually
boxes, lines, and arrows. Its general purpose is to show ranks, levels, procedures, and
classifications.
The two common charts are the organizational chart and the flow chart.
A. An organizational chart presents rankings, classification, and levels of
ideas.

Source: https://www.smartdraw.com/organizational-chart/organizational-chart-tips.htm

B. A flow chart illustrates a process or direction of steps. Generally, flow charts flow from top to
bottom or left to right.

ISO Shape and its meaning

Arrow (Flowline) shows the
process's order of operation.
Rounded box (Terminal) indicates the
beginning and ending of a program or
sub-process.
Rectangle (Process) represents a set of
operations that changes value, form, or
location of data.
Diamond (Decision) shows a
conditional operation that determines
which one of the two paths the program
will take. The operation is commonly a
yes/no question or true/false test.

II. Tables

A table shows raw data in rows and columns. It condenses and classifies
information to make comparisons between and among data and helps the readers grasp
relationships that might be invisible in prose.

It contains at least two columns with headings on the sides and the top of the
columns to indicate what the table represents. The heading on the top is called a
boxhead while the heading on the far left column is called a stub.

III. Graphs

A graph is a graphical representation of data using bars, lines, or circles. Each

type of graph has a specific function or purpose.

A. A bar graph uses vertical and horizontal bars that compare amounts
and quantities.

B. A line graph shows trends and changes in data. Usually, the bottom grid
scale represents time.

C. A circle graph (pie graph), which uses pie-shaped sections, shows the
relationship of the parts to the whole in percentages and proportions.

General Steps in Interpreting Visuals

1. Read the title and the subtitle.

2. Read the captions, keys and labels.
3. Determine the purpose of the material.
4. Identify the organization of information.
5. Analyze the relationship of details such as changes and trends.
6. Make a conclusion about the data if necessary.

General Guidelines for Adding Visuals to your Text

1. Determine the purpose of the visuals.
2. Evaluate the accuracy and validity of the data.
3. Visuals should be accompanied by clear references within your text.
(e,g., as shown in Figure 4, the …)
4. Visuals should be on the same page as the text reference. Complex visuals should be
placed on the page opposite the text reference.
5. Preferably, position the visual vertically.
6. Make your visual as simple and self-explanatory as possible by adding data labels.
7. If the visuals are colored, go for basic contrasting colors which are easy on the eyes;
as much as possible avoid adding patterns and textures, as well as neon colors.
 D What is more?
Directions. Look at the figures and provide three to five sentence analysis based on the
title and data given. Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper.

add the title and the legend in each diagram. Present your diagram on a separate sheet
of paper. Your work will be scored based on the following criteria:

Accuracy of Data 5 pts.

Neatness 2 pts.
Clarity 3 pts
Total: 10 points per diagram
