Graphic Aids

diagram – facts related to parts of something

maps – where places are found charts – information that can be compared time lines – dates and events over time

When I look at a graphic aid, first I figure out what kind of information it gives me. A diagram, for example, can show the parts of something or how something works. The diagram will make it easier for me to understand the information because parts are labeled.

Practice using graphic aids Look at the diagram on pages 270 –

271 Use the lines from the captions to help

figure out what each part is used for.
