Reflections Chapter 8 - Can you identify three graphs or charts your students could make that would help them develop a better understanding of the content.

Students could use a pie chart to visually display what locations are used the most in any particular play. This would help them keep track of what is going to be the most important place in the play. When designing the scenes of the play it is best to know what should be the "base" of design. If the lesson was to calculate alternate costs of items needed for a play, like props or costume elements a side by side bar graph to show what will be the most cost effective. If the lesson was to calculate the over all total expected return for a show the students could a line chart to display the profit growth. depending on ticket cost and expected audience. The variety of items that can be entered and graphed is only limited by the way you enter the data. They are fun ways for students to find trends in data.
