Describing graphs
Hi everyone, Welcome to our newsletter. This week we've continued with our graphical data lessons. We've updated our academic writing and speaking lesson on describing graphs. The lesson introduces students to language connected to describing graphs and using that language to describe a range of graphs. We've added graphical collocations, sentence level exercises and a writing exercise too. See example worksheet.
