Graphs, Tables, and Pictographs

"Even if you could run fast, you could not escape, so..."

- Joji  'Graphs, Tables, and Pictographs'  is an episode of Ready, Set, Read!, copyright 2020 and released in 2021.

Synopsis
Joji gives a detailed reflection of the typhoons that have struck the country. Using a table as a means of communication, he managaes to explain Ogot the bare minimum. While doing this, he monologues the story of 'Soldier and Boy Saved Each Other', written by Suzanne Simard.

Opening/Closing Segment
Joji shows to Ogot a graph about the number of typhoons that have hit our country. A table is a set of columns and rows that are interconnected and works best when expressing numbers. Ogot appreciates it, saying that it will help remind them of what to do if a typhoon will arrive.

Ogot is unnaturally worried in the bookend segment, since he mistook the number ofdonations for one individual bag. He later apologizes after Joji corrects his mistake. Ogot also gives him a list of items necessary for survival, but he corrects that as well, since a majority of the supplies were just food. He suggests adding more medicine and bottled water.

Intermission #1
Sitting on a fence, Marj brings her bar graph that renders the amount of kutsinta she and her friends ate. Ogot, the one who loves kutsinta the most, ate the most, while Cathy ate the least. In total, there were 31 kutsinta that were eaten on that merienda.

Soldier and Boy Saved Each Other
The story of SaBSEO is about Boise Kalangan, a lieutenant colonel in Tacloban Airport, when suddenly, Typhoon Yolanda struck, and he found himself hanging onto a plank of wood. Then, he sees a boy named Miguel, and tries to save him due to his young age. They hold dearly to a tree, but before Kalangan gave up, Miguel reminds him of his pure determination. They make it out okay in the end.

James Lez Read's lesson for today
James brings up the topic of silent words, or words that are not pronounced as a result of the second word. Words like 'know' and 'knot' fall under this category. The 'game' in particular is just to say words that are given in the screen.
