Graph+descriptions

Here is the Melbourne temperature graph. The graphs you used on Thurs 21st Oct came from here. It's interesting to look at in the evening, when it shows all the temperature changes from the day. Melbourne real time temperature

Here are the graphs drawn in class, Thursday 14 Oct: All the work was carefully done and well-organised. I think some students have a bright future in graph drawing :)

Here is the description of the sports graph (from Friday 22 October)


 * To summarise the requirements for the exam Writing task:**

FOR ALL TYPES OF GRAPHS: Your first sentence should be: "The graph shows.....", to explain what/where/when/who

If you have a "**snapshot**" graph (one point in time), you have to compare and contrast. This means "slightly higher / significantly more / twice as much / three times more / a similar percentage" etc. You can decide how to organise and group the data.

If you have a "**trend**" graph (showing a period of time), you have to describe how the figure changes. This means "there was a dramatic drop / the figure climbed slightly / it remained steady / it tripled" etc. You have to describe the data from oldest-to-newest! (we say "in chronological order")

If the trend graph has **two lines**, you need to (a) describe the first line, then (b) describe the second line AND compare it to the first one
