Graphic Sources
Graphic sources, or graphic aids,
such as maps, charts, diagrams,
pictures, and schedules, are used to
show information visually.
While reading, think about how the
information in the graphic relates to
what you read in the text.
Graphic Sources
Sometimes the author will mention
the graphic and explain how it
connects to the text. At other times,
you will need to make this connection
on your own.
Graphic sources are often used to
summarize complex information.
Steps in a Process
Steps in a process is a kind of
sequence that involves making
something, such as a recipe, or doing
something, such as recording a movie
on videotape.
Telling the steps in a process means
providing the correct order of steps
required to complete an action.
Look for clue words such as first,
second, next, last, later, and then.
Greek and Latin Roots
You can use word structure to figure
out the meaning of unfamiliar words.
The word construction comes from
the Latin root struct meaning “to
build” or “to build on.”
Look at the words and roots in the
chart and the write other words with
the same Latin root in the third
column.

grammar if you are writing a report
on Egypt?
A grammar reference book is used
for information or help with language.
It is a kind of handbook or manual
with instructions on how to use
language in writing or speaking.
Reference Book
Grammar reference books and
manuals usually have a table of
contents, which gives a broad
overview of what is included, and an
index that is used to find a detail or
term.
Reference Book
A grammar reference book or manual
is often organized in sections on
grammar, usage, and mechanics.
Within the sections, terms may be
grouped under headings, such as
nouns, subject-verb agreement, and
capitalization.
