7 questions

Below, you see a graph. In case you need to open it to better view it, here is the link. https://informationisbeautiful.net/visualizations/20th-century-death/

What ideas or pieces of information does the author present? List as many as you can.

Identify the main conclusion told in the graphic. This should not just be the title, but what conclusion you can make from the information provided.

Pick one point on the image that represents a number. What is that number (you can approximate, if necessary) and what are the units? If known, what is the source of the data.

Describe how the author represents data in the graphic (ex. using color to differentiate things, etc.)

What questions do you have about the graphic? What confuses you?

After answering the above questions and looking closely at the graph, think about these three questions:

What do you notice? Why do you think this is?

What do you wonder? What are you curious about that comes from what you notice in the graph?

What might be going on in this graph? What is the graph showing?

The questions are intended to build on one another, so answer them in order in paragraph form.

Start with “I notice,” then “I wonder,” and end with “The story this graph is telling is ….”

An example of the expectation for a completely different graph:
"I noticed that many of the immigrants have moved to the southern and western states such as, California and Texas. These people should be given a chance and not rejected right away. The chart also shows how many of these immigrants have jobs and are working people. I wonder why these people came to those exact states. I also wonder why they moved up north, why would they go so far up north. The story these graphs are showing is where the immigrants went and how many of them people working in that state."
