 What I Need to Know
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help
you explain visual-verbal relationships illustrated in tables, graphs and information
maps found in expository texts. The scope of this module permits it to be used in
different learning situations. The language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary
level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the
course. But the order in which you read them can be changed to correspond with the
textbook you are now using.

Learning Objectives:
At the end of this module, the learners are expected to:
1. identify the importance of graphical representation of data;
2. interpret data presented in a table, graphs and information map;
3. present information using a diagram; and
4. explain the importance of visual-verbal relationships in a table, graph, and
information map found in expository texts.

What is it
There are many different ways to present information and to convey ideas
creatively. The use of data, graphical representations, and informational maps are
some of the most commonly used graphics to compare and show the relationship
between figures and the text used.
What is expository text?
It presents facts and information on specific topic. Expository texts are designed
to explain, inform or describe.
Why do authors use graphics in expository text?
Authors use graphics to help readers understand the concept presented.

3
Ways to interpret graphics in expository text:
1. Photographs and illustrations
A photograph will provide a literal snapshot of the person, place, or thing being
discussed. An illustration is a drawing or sketch. Both provide visual interpretations of
concepts and facts that serve to increase overall understanding of the material.
It is important to use the photographs and illustrations in a text to deepen
engagement with the material. It also requires paying attention to any captions or titles
added to the picture.
2. Charts and Graphs
They are usually used to present data. Charts and Graphs also allow unique
organization of data being presented.
It is important to understand what data is included (type, amount, etc.) Knowing
what is included in the chart helps readers understand the material more effectively.
3. Diagrams and Timelines
Diagrams and timelines are useful to demonstrate processes (How plant goes
from a seed to a seedling to a full-grown plant.) Timelines are important in the
presentation of events throughout time because they can show the passage of many
years on a continuum.
They are useful because they help to illustrate the facts and information. It is
important to use captions and labels to decipher exactly what information is included
in the graphic.

What is Visual-Verbal Relationship?

When visual literacy was coined as a term, an early outcome was to suggest
the existence or possibility of a visual language(s). From the beginning, comparisons
have been made as if by second nature. Once we began to compare the
communication aspects of imagery with written language, it was inevitable that the
relationship between traditional verbal language and visuals would be explored.
Visuals are considered to be things that can be seen, visible things other than printed
words that are used in a communication process. The term verbal applies to written or
spoken words.

Activity 5: Fill Me In
Directions: Read and understand the text well. Write the cause and effects of Brad’s
coming to school late.
Brad woke up late today. The electricity went out the night before, which
caused his alarm to not go off at the right time. As Brad was getting dressed, his
belt broke. He also noticed there was a small stain on the front of his shirt. He didn’t
have time to fix either of the problems. Since Brad had slept through his alarm, the
bus had left without him and he was forced to ride his bike to school. Luckily, he
was able to jump into his first period seat right when the bell rang. As he began to
ask the girl in the desk next to him for a pencil, his teacher reprimanded him for not
having the warm-up for that day’s class finished. She then noticed that his shirt was
untucked. The teacher began to fill out a referral for Brad not following dress-code.
Seeing this, Brad pushed back his chair and stormed out of the classroom.

1. What would most likely happen if the chart has no labels on it?
2. How does the chart help you understand the idea?
3. Based on the graphic, what do the partitions represent?
4. What are the things you consider in interpreting the chart?

Activity 7: Think and Write!

Directions: Read and understand the text carefully. Study the table and write your
interpretation based on the data presented in the table.

Infrastructure spending surged to 6.3% of GDP in 2017 and is projected to

hit 6.2% of GDP in 2018, almost tripling the average of 2% of GDP spent from 1986
to 2016. This is in line with the Duterte administration’s target of increasing
infrastructure spending to more than 7.0% of GDP by 2022.

Compared to the initial two years of every president when he or she was still
learning the ropes of the presidency, President Duterte has shown a much better
job than his peers.
This fast-tracked spending performance addresses the country’s
underinvestment in infrastructure, which has severely dragged the Philippines’
economic performances in the past.

Notably, according to latest data on government disbursements,

infrastructure also remains as one of the primary spending drivers as of November
2018. Year-to-date actual disbursements also stand at Php 3.1 Trillion, increasing
the likelihood of zero underspending for 2018.
infrastructure rank has sharply fallen from 94th in 2009 to 112th in 2017.
With subpar road networks and transport systems, traffic congestion in Metro
Manila alone costs as high as Php 3.5 Billion daily, according to recent JICA
estimates. This does not even reflect the social cost to the health and well-being of
commuters.
With the Build, Build, Build Program in full swing, infrastructure outlays are
expected to increase from 4.7% in 2019 to 7.0% in 2022. So far, 44 out of the 75
major projects have already began implementation. And this year, the Php 356
Billion Metro Manila Subway Project, the Philippines’ first-ever subway system, will
commence construction.

Activity 8: Read, Think and Share

Directions: One way of showing understanding the text is the ability to extract the ideas
or information embedded in the material read in a graphical presentation. Read the
article and fill in the needed information called for in the graphic organizer below.

Traveling is one of the favorite hobbies almost all people have. There are several
ways for traveling around the world, and they all include some good things and
some bad things. Backpacking and staying in hotels are two of the most common
ways of traveling, that’s why they are used by most people. The major differences
that could be discussed between these two ways of traveling are the costs, the
safety of the staying, and the availability of plans. Backpacking has been used by
teenagers for a long time, and it has become really famous among young people
who don’t have a lot of money for traveling. By backpacking people could save a
lot of money and travel with less money than what they would need for paying a
hotel. As the travelers will need to sleep in a hostel, there will always be the issue
of insecurity, as any kind of people could enter and sleep in a hostel. Hostels are
not always available as there are a lot of people who use them, so change of plans
will always be a possibility in this way of traveling. People who rely on backpacking
for their trips should always have a backup plan. In contrast, hotels are one of the
most comfortable ways of traveling, but only if you have enough money. This way
of traveling is mostly used by families and people who are wealthy enough to pay
for good hotels. By staying at a hotel people will spend more money than they
would spend in a hostel; of course a hotel will provide a high level of security to
the traveler. However, to stay at most hotels, you need reservations, and once you
have them you can rely on a place to sleep every night. In this way of traveling no
backup plan is needed.
