This type of display allows us to compare groups of data and make generalizations about the data quickly. • Title – Gives an overview of the information being presented in the graph. Noted at the top of graph. • Axes and their labels – Each graph has two axes. The axes labels tell us what information is presented on each axis. One axis represents data groups; the other represents the amounts or frequency of data groups. • Bars – The bars are rectangular blocks that can have their base at either vertical axis or horizontal axis. Each bar represents the data for one of the data groups. • Grouped Data Axis - The grouped data axis is always at the base of the bars. This axis displays the type of data being graphed. • Frequency Data Axis – The frequency data axis has a scale that is a measure of the frequency or amounts of the different data groups. • Axes scale – Scale is the range of values being presented along the frequency axis.

Using the graph and the text, explain how traditional sales (defined as sales and radio play) compare to traditional sales combined with streaming. 2. Using the graph and the text, determine which music genres have benefited the most from streaming. Why do you think this is so? 3. Using the graph and the text, decide which method of calculating the top Billboard lists better reflects the ranking of albums’ popularity: with or without streaming included.  4.  If a Gold Album is 1,000,000 albums sold, make a graph showing the combinations of paid and free streams to earn a Gold Album. (For simplicity here, assume there are no album sales.) Using the equivalent album units (EAU) described above, make a table of a few of the combinations of paid and free streaming that equal 1,000,000 albums. Then, graph them and draw in the boundary for exactly 1,000,000 EAU. Since there needs to be at least 1,000,000 EAU, but there can be more, should the combinations above or below the line be included to show the region for a Gold Album? Once you have the graph, what do you notice about the relationship between paid and free streams?

25. What’s the Main Idea? DID THIS MAKE SENSE?????OF COURSE NOT!!! • Read this short paragraph: Engineers create wealth for society. So, tennis is a game and the resources of the earth are scarce. Have you gone mad? Thus the only solution is to educate the public on being socially responsible. Why? It didn’t have a MAIN IDEA! We would go crazy if texts were written like this all the time. Being made up of different ideas made it difficult to understand. There was no common thread. The good news is that normal passages have main ideas!

26. Stated and Implied Main Idea… • Sometimes, a paragraph has a stated main idea usually in the topic sentence.  A stated idea is present when the passage “says” what the main idea is. • Sometimes, a paragraph doesn’t have a stated main idea, but has an “implied” main idea.  When there isn't a stated main idea then you need to state the main idea in your own words because it doesn’t actually “say” it in the passage.  Let’s take a look at two examples…

32. 2. Rather than concentrating on doing one thing at a time, high school students often divide their attention among several activities, such as watching television and using the computer while doing homework. Some educators believe multitasking is a bad practice when doing homework because they think dividing attention between multiple tasks negatively affects the quality of students’ work. Other educators do not believe multitasking is a bad practice when doing homework because they think students accomplish more during their limited free time as a result of multitasking. Is it too distracting for high school students to divide their attention among several activities when they are doing homework? N2K: Constructed Response Respond to this prompt based on the position that students are too distracted when doing homework while multitasking. Use specific reasons and examples to support your position.
