MJ's Pay It Forward


Part 2
My friend Michael and Anton pick up some garbage on the street. I chose this activity because we want our community clean and we have fun doing it. We help our neighbors. I pick up garbage in the streets. I did my act of kindness on weekend.

Part 3
My act of kindness went very well and I had fun doing it. I'm happy because we were helping our community. Some people saw us picking up garbage and they're surprise of how clean the street is.
No, we didn't ask people because we continue picking up garbage and don't have much time to ask or we forgot.

Part 4
The idea of Pay It Forward is important because you can make a differenc
e by picking up a garbage. I think it made a difference to the neighbors and me because I can see what's the thing I can do to help our community.

MJ's Graphing Post

Graphing Post

1.) Data can be presented using Bar Graphs, Double Bar Graphs, Circle Graphs, Line Graphs, and Pictographs.

Bar Graphs - are best for comparing data across categories.
Advantages: Best for comparing data across categories
Disadvantages: Limited space for labeling with vertical bar graphs

Double Bar Graphs
- are best for comparing two sets of data across categories.
Advantages: Visually strong, can easily compare two or three data.
Disadvantages: Graph categories can be reordered to emphasize certain effects.

Circle Graphs - are best for comparing categories to the whole using percents.
Advantages: Best for comparing categories to the whole using percents
Disadvantages: Best for 3 - 7 categories

Line Graphs - are best for showing changes in data over time.
Advantages: Can compare multiple continuous data sets easily
Disadvantages: Use only with continuous data

Pictographs - are best for comparing data that can be easily counted and represented using symbols.

Advantages: Handles large data sets easily using key icons
Disadvantages: Icons must be of consistent size
