- | Below are the guidelines for describing a Bar Chart. | ||
- | |||
- | * Describe only the visual features that convey meaning. | ||
- | * Focus on the meaning/ | ||
- | * Describe the layout of the graph before describing specific data (i.e. "A Bar Chart of ...") | ||
- | * State what the graph is telling you before you describe its details (i.e. The chart shows murder rates in Chicago from 1990 to 2020.) | ||
- | * Include implied visual impact. | ||
- | * Provide the most relevant information first, like what is being measured on the X and Y axes. | ||
- | * Make sure what you are describing is relevant to the image. Do not simply repeat the titles and labels without providing information about what the graph portrays. | ||
- | * For units, use the full word instead of short forms (ex. Use “seconds” instead of “s”) and ensure the unit is described consistently throughout the description. | ||
