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 Strands MALE FEMALE TOTAL HUMMS 12 20 32 STEM 15 22 37 COOKERY 10 35 45 SMAW 32 6 38 Total 152 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. 2 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. (Source: https://images.goo.gl/ETgQqDAEUjqFBcf66)) 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.

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.
