Get 2 notecards
On one index card draw a solid line On another, draw a dashed line
You will be asked a series of questions pertaining to a graph. On each graph, there will be two lines, a solid line and a dashed line At the top of the graph is a statement. Raise your hand with the card indicating if it is the solid line or dashed line to which the statement is referring.
