LB #13 Teaching with visual symbols

Visual symbols include drawings, cartoons, strip drawings, diagrams, formulas, charts, graphs, maps and globes.

      A drawing may not be the real thing but better to have a concrete visual aid than nothing. To avoid, confusion, it is good that our drawing correctly represents the real thing. A first-rate cartoon tells its story meta phonically. The perfect cartoon needs no caption. The less the artist depends on words, the more effective the symbolism.

Types of diagram:
  • Affinity diagram
  • Tree diagram
  • Fish bone diagram
    A chart is a diagrammatic representation of relationships among individuals within an organization. We can have:
  •  time chart
  • tree or stream chart
  • flow chart
  • organizational chart
  • comparison and contrast chart
  • pareto chart
  • run chart or trend chart                                                                            There are several types of graphs
  • circle or pie graph
  • bar graph
  • pictorial graph
  • line graph
