To identify the general trend (for the overview - paragraph 2), you need toidentify what happened GENERALLY or OVERALL from the beginning ofthe time period to the end of the period I show you how to do this in thefree video on the website.

So, now, you should write in your own paper notebook or (if you will take thecomputer based test) on your computer, a very short summary of what you cansee happened generally or overall in the chart

Now write in your own paper notebook or (if you will take the computerbased test) on your computer a brief introduction including the informationabout what, when, where, unit of measure that you considered above.

Now write in your own paper notebook or (if you will take the computer basedtest) on your computer your overview paragraph to express the general trend

1.3 STEP 3 Identifying Key Features for the Body Paragraphs.
