My 4 Graph Story
When data is collected it is organised into tables and graphs so that any patterns or trends
can be quickly identified. The following tables and graphs relate to the activities of a
student on one typical Saturday.
Use this set of graphs as the basis to write a story about how the student spends the
Saturday. The student can be you or someone completely made up. You must use the
information from all of the graphs and tables. Everything you write must be accurate and
based on these facts, however you need to make your story as interesting as possible. You
can write it as a diary or a story.
