Explaining the Visual-Verbal Relationships Illustrated in
Tables, Graphs and Informational Maps in Expository Texts
My dear Grade 8 students, welcome to the 2 nd Quarter of learning
experiences away from school. Try to remember some books that you have
been using while you were still in school. What do you think these books
ranging from Filipino, English, Math and other subjects have in common? If you
answered pictures, graphics, and other visuals, you are correct. We use these
textbooks to learn facts, concepts and information. Texts that present facts and
information to readers, are examples of expository texts. Expository texts
are designed to explain, inform and
present facts on specific topics.
Now, take a moment to think about the graphics that you have seen in these textbooks,
like illustrations, tables, graphs, and informational maps. They are used to help present
the topic at hand. If Picture books use images to help new readers understand the story,
authors of expository texts use graphics to help readers understand
Examples of Visual Presentations (Graphics)
1. Tables – A table is representational display of data or information in rows or
columns.
Example:
Table 1. Number of Grade 12 Students enrolled in Different Strands of San
Isidro National High School for the School Year 2020-2021

The table above shows the number of Grade 12 students enrolled in San Isidro
National High School. It shows that there are 152 students enrolled in Grade 12
in that school for the school year 2020-2021. The strand with the highest number
of students enrolled is STEM, while HUMMS got the lowest number of enrollees.

Females in this school less preferred SMAW as their choice of Grade 12 TechVoc
Track while the males less preferred HUMMS. It shows that SMAW appealed to
boys than girls.
2. A chart, on the other hand, is an illustrative presentation of information. The
information is illustrated in symbols such as lines, bars or slices. It used to
explain the relationship between a large quantity of data and its parts.

The Chart shows a summary of confirmed COVID19 cases from January 21 –
February 20, 2019. It shows that Americans who have travel history in Korea
and the USA has the highest number of COVID19 cases. It also showed that even
those Filipinos who have no travel history outside of the country were also affected
by the virus.
3. Graphs – A graph is a visual display of appraisals over grids that provides an
easy way to view interpretation of all the values.

The graph shows how Philippine companies take steps to ensure employees’
wellbeing and business continuity amid COVID-19 ECQ period. Due to the threat
of the virus, majority of the Filipinos work from home. Although some businesses
are still going on, on a very minimal scale, there are those that really suspend
their operations.
4. Information mapping is a method of identifying, categorizing, and
interrelating information for learning and reference purpose.
(Source: https://images.app.goo.gl/fMqSkFo3wW5a3o38)
This information map shows the significant effects of COVID19 in the fields of
Orthopedics. It spells out the challenges of the virus’ threat to both the
patient and the medical personnel. Due to the threat of the virus, there is a
postponement of orthopedic conferences that would also lead to the delay of
orthopedics surgeries.
