1 How to set-up graphs… The API scores of BHHS is an important way to measure how successful we are as a school. If we examine the API scores over the course of several years, hopefully we will see a positive pattern. Here is our data from 2005-2010. Year200520062007200820092010 Score815847824805846839

2 Start with a title…be specific

4 Biology Too vague Is this title good? Or too vague?

5 Beverly Hills High School API Scores Good title Is this title good? Or too vague?

6 Beverly Hills High School API Scores Next…add labels to your graph.

General Rule: If you are showing changes over a period of time, you will make a line graph. General rule: If you are comparing more than one set of information, you will make a bar graph. So what should we make here?
