Discuss how the use of graphs adds to the story of T.J. 2. Give students two blank sheets of paper and challenge them to tell a brief story using two different media. For example, they could write about the events of their day on one sheet, and then on the other sheet, graph the amount of time they spent doing schoolwork, watching TV, eating, etc. Or ask them to write a synopsis of a scene from one of their favorite books, and then to illustrate that scene with a drawing or a comic strip. Ask for volunteers to share their stories with the class, then discuss how the two media convey the same information.
Students apply a wide range of strategies to comprehend, interpret, evaluate, and appreciate texts.
