Understanding the Principles of Charting

  

   After you have outlined the text, you must break the text apart further by charting.

· Charting is used to look at the text carefully through our Observation-Interpretation-Illustration-Application system.

· When you start developing the chart, you must follow the format given.

· This will help prevent you from overlooking important elements of the text.

· For effective charting, you must make four columns as follows:

 
 
 
Observation
Interpretation
 Application
 Illustration
  • We arrange the illustration column at the end because you don’t need to illustrate every point. You can illustrate a point                   wherever it is needed and appropriate.
  •  In charting, we only work with one section or one thought at a time.
  •  We must finish with all the observation, interpretation, application and illustration.
  •  Then, we can move on to the next section.
  •  Remember:
  • NOT ALL OBSERVATIONS NEED INTERPRETATION
  • NOT ALL INTERPRETATIONS NEED APPLICATION.
