Missing Chart Slide

Decision Making · Which Would You Pick

Print it

One page for the student and one for the teacher, with the answer and what a strong response looks like. Print either or both.

A laptop displays a text-free slide layout with an empty chart space beside a blank notebook and pencil.

Ariel is reviewing the shared slide deck after her group marked the presentation nearly finished. One slide still shows a gray image placeholder where the chart should be. The speaker notes include a link to Tuesday's survey results, where the missing chart was supposed to come from. The group planned to submit the deck after checking links, captions, and order. Without the chart, the last slide makes a claim with no evidence. Ariel can either leave a clear note or check the survey results before adjusting the slide now.

Pick the better option and give one practical reason.

  • Add a comment on the slide explaining that the survey chart is missing, then list the deck as unfinished.
  • Open the linked Tuesday survey results, confirm the numbers, then replace the unsupported claim with a brief summary that cites the survey.

Give one reason this choice keeps the deck easier to finish.

Think about it: What would change if Ariel submitted the deck with the image placeholder still there?
