Study Notes
Interpreting Information
- Information can be presented in three common ways: visually, orally, and quantitatively.
- Visual information uses pictures or images to convey meaning.
- To interpret visual information, look for:
- Headings
- Bold text
- Key terms
- Other details in the picture
- Example of visual information: a food label, which provides information about vitamins and minerals in the food.
- A food label typically includes:
- Nutrition Facts
- Calories
- Total Fat
- Carbohydrates
- Sodium
- Protein
- Cholesterol
- % Daily Value
Oral Information
- Oral information uses words or conversation to present information.
- To interpret oral information, listen for:
- Key words
- Information that is repeated
- Tone of voice
- Main idea
- Example of oral information: a persuasive speech, such as Suzy's speech about cleaning up the community playground.
- Key words in Suzy's speech: "filthy", "garbage-filled", "trash", which illustrate the main idea of the need to clean up the playground.
Quantitative Information
- Quantitative information uses graphs, charts, and timelines to present information about quantities or numbers.
- To interpret quantitative information, look for:
- Titles
- Labels
- Dates
- Times
- Numbers
- Example of quantitative information: a bar graph showing the number of students who play certain sports.
- From the graph, we can determine that:
- About twice as many students play baseball compared to volleyball.
- Most of the students play basketball or soccer.
