BPS Curriculum Framework > Informational/Explanatory Text > Grade 2 > Drafting and Revising > Labeling a picture or diagram 2.7 Labeling a picture or a Connection : We have been noticing the beautiful pictures and helpful diagram diagrams in our mentor text for “all-about” books. We have even added pictures and diagrams to our own writing to really give our readers a better idea of what our subject looks like, but there is still one more thing we need to think about. We need to be sure our readers understand what they are looking at. Learning Objective: Students will label pictures and Teaching : Labeling our pictures gives our readers a better diagrams from the outdoor understanding of what they are looking at. Our labels help the reader classroom know exactly what they are seeing. It may tell the time of the year, the location, the size, or the specific parts of the subject they are looking at. Let’s look at The “Saddle Up!” Section in the “Kids book of Horses” and see how the author has used labels to teach us the parts of a Mentor Texts: “Volcanoes”; saddle. “Bears, Bears, Bears”; “Try It Think about something in the classroom and tell your partner “Apples”; “The Pumpkin what you might have to label if you were going to illustrate this object. Book”; “ The Kids Horse Book ”, Share out with class. Sylvia Funston Instructions to students for Independent Outdoor Writing : 1. Today, when we go out to the outdoor classroom we are going to choose an object to illustrate. It can be from our classroom list or anything else you see outside (at boat in the harbor, a truck or car going by, a small animal scampering away, or items on the playground: a slide or climbing frame.

Previous research has suffered from a lack of reliable data on gun ownership. I exploit a unique data set to reliably estimate annual rates of gun ownership at both the state and the county levels during the past two decades. My ﬁndings demonstrate that changes in gun ownership are signiﬁcantly positively related to changes in the hom- icide rate, with this relationship driven almost entirely by an impact of gun ownership on murders in which a gun is used.

Infographic Designer Quick Start
Infographic Designer Quick Start Infographic Designer is a Power BI custom visual to provide infographic presentation of data. For example, using Infographic Designer, you can create pictographic style column charts or bar charts as shown in Fig. 1. Unlike standard column charts or bar charts, they use a single icon or stacked multiple icons to constitute a column or bar. Icons convey the data concepts in concrete objects, and the size and number of icons can represent data quantities intuitively. Research reveals that such infographics can improve the effectiveness of visualizations by making data quickly understood and easily remembered. As a result, they are getting popular and have been widely adopted in the real world. Now with Infographic Designer, you are able to create infographic visuals in Power BI easily. (A) (B) (C) (D) Fig. 1. Example infographics created by Infographic Designer Overview Infographic Designer visual is structured as a small multiple, where each individual view is a chart of a particular chart type (Fig. 2). Currently it supports column chart, bar chart, and card chart. More chart types (line chart, scatter chart, etc.) will be added in the future. In Fig. 2, A is a small multiple of card chart, and B is a small multiple of column chart. As a special case, when a small multiple comes to 1X1, it is identical to a single chart (see the charts in Fig. 1). (A) (B) Fig. 2. Infographic Designer small multiples For the individual views of the small multiple, Infographic Designer allows you to customize the chart marks to achieve beautiful, readable, and friendly visualizations.

The Historical Role of Photomechanical Techniques in Map Production Karen Severud Cook
The Historical Role of Photomechanical Techniques in Map Production Karen Severud Cook ABSTRACT: From the 1880s until the 1970s, photomechanical techniques played an important role in map making. Images created by and for photography were manipulated to form the printing image(s) from which the map was reproduced in multiple copies. After experiments in mapmaking in the 1860s, photomechanical techniques gained acceptance by the 1880s and, thereafter, increasingly dominated mapmaking until their rapid decline after the 1970s, as the shift to computers and electronic technology occurred. When they replaced earlier manual methods in the nineteenth century, photomechanical techniques caused the tools and materials of map production and the roles of personnel to change. Control over image production shifted from the printer to the cartographer as pen-and-ink drafting and associated collage techniques developed in the early 1900s, and even more so when scribing came into general use in the 1960s. Having thus assumed more direct responsibility for the end product (the printed map), the cartographer also adopted methods of predicting and controlling its appearance, such as standardized tools and materials, drafting specifications, flow charting, and color proofing. Through the faster and cheaper production of maps whose graphic presentation of information was enhanced by tonal effects and color printing, photomechanical production techniques also contributed to the growth of the map trade and of map use during the twentieth century. KEYWORDS: Photomechanical map production; map design; map reproduction; production tools; production techniques; production materials; pen-and-ink drafting; photographic halftone screen; photographic tint screen; stick-up; negative scribing; technical pens; photolithography; photoengrav- ing; collage techniques Introduction images for and by photography that ultimately form the printing image(s) from which the map is or about a century (from the 1880s until reproduced in multiple copies.
