The interviewers will come back with lots of numbers and information. These need to be displayed clearly and simply to enable everyone to understand the issues. Charts should show the answers to the following questions, using as much information as possible:
- What is the issue? (title)
- How large is the problem? (indicate the size)
- Who is affected?
- How many people are affected?
- Where is the issue found in the community?
- How long has this been an issue?
- What are the causes?
Figures should be added up and checked carefully to make sure they are correct and as clear as possible.
Discussion
- Once information is gathered, how can it be brought together and checked? Who is good at mathematics and could help work out the total figures for all the information? Will some outside help be needed to sort out all the information?
- Discuss the chart shown on Marnabas school attendance. Think how many of these questions it provides answers for. What questions does it not answer? Could the chart be improved? Rewrite the chart if necessary with spaces for the extra information that is needed.
- Decide together how to prepare charts that will provide information that answers these key questions. The charts need to show clearly the findings of the information gathered. Work in small groups and review each other’s work.
- Decide who will share with our community the findings from each of the charts prepared.
