Activity
Group the following pictures according to their similarities. Connect the picture to its appropriate group.
Each group is labeled as A (Pictures that use texts that need to be read from beginning to end) and B
(pictures that do not need to be read from beginning to end).

A B

Answer the following questions:

1. How did you find the activity?
2. Which of the following groups need time to finish reading? Why?

ABSTRACTION
Presentation of the lesson

LINEAR AND NON-LINEAR TEXT

Based on our activity, the pictures on group A are linear texts, on the other hand, the pictures
on group B are non-linear texts.
Understanding the differences between linear and non-linear texts is an essential skill as
we encounter these texts almost every day. The main difference between the two lies in the way
the text is read or processed by an individual. Experts call this pattern of reading a material as
reading path. Let us differentiate linear text from non-linear texts using the table below.

LINEAR TEXT NON-LINEAR TEXT

DEFINITION It refers to traditional texts It refers to texts that do not
that need to be read from need to be read from
beginning to the end. beginning to the end.
READING PATH There is only ONE reading There are multiple reading
path, which is decided by the paths. They are determined
author. by the reader.
EFFICIENCY It may take time to find the It does not take time
information readers are because it allows readers to
searching for. find more information
efficiently.
EXAMPLES Novels, poems, letters, Tables, pie charts, flow
textbooks, news reports, charts, pictures, diagrams,
essays character maps, sequence
charts

Process Questions:
1. What is the difference between linear text from non-linear text in terms of reading path?
2. Based on the examples, in what subject areas can we usually see linear texts? Non-linear
texts?

FOR NON-LINEAR TEXTS

1. LINE GRAPH is a graphical display that uses line to represent the data on continuously
changes over a specific amount or period of time.

2. BAR GRAPH is a graphical representation of data that uses bars to compare data
according to given categories. Such bars may run either vertically or horizontally.

TRANSCODING LINEAR TO NON-LINEAR TEXTS AND VICE VERSA

To transcode means to transform something from one form to another. In order to transcode a
linear to a non-linear text or the other way around, one must first be able to fully understand what
the source text is about. This way, deciding on the proper text type to be used in the transcoding
process will be easier.
To transcode a linear text to a non-linear text, one may follow these steps:
Step 1. Read and understand the source text to get its main or central ideas.
Step 2. Extract important details to be included in the visual presentation.
Step 3. Remember to use words or phrases only.
Step 4. To be organized, classify information into categories.
Step 5. Make sure to use the appropriate non-linear text in presenting your information.

Read the text below. Answer the following questions provided.

Influenza (Flu) and COVID-19 are both contagious respiratory illnesses, but they are caused by
different viruses. Flu viruses can cause mild to severe illness, including common signs and
symptoms such as fever, or feeling feverish, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, sore throat,
runny or stuffy nose, muscle pain, headache, and in some cases, vomiting and diarrhea.
Typically, a person develops symptoms anywhere from 1 to 4 days after infection. On the other
hand, COVID-19 seems to cause more serious illnesses in some people. Other signs and
symptoms of COVID-19, different from flu, may include change in or loss of taste or smell. In
addition, a person with Covid-19 virus develops symptoms 5 days after being infected, but
symptoms can appear as early as 2 days after infection or as late as 14 days after infection, and
the time range can vary.

Process Questions:
1. Based on the text, what is the similarity between influenza (flu) and COVID-19?
2. What is the difference between influenza and COVID-19?
3. If the paragraph suggests similarities and differences between influenza and COVID-19,
what non-linear text should be used to illustrate its similarities and differences?
4. Using the information lifted from the paragraph, transcode the linear text into Venn
Diagram using the statements lifted from the paragraph.
Statements:
- Contagious Respiratory Illnesses
- Cause mild to severe illness
- Cause more serious illnesses such as change in or loss of taste or smell
- Symptoms develop from 1-4 days
- Symptoms develop 5 days after infected

APPLICATION
Group the class into 4 groups. Choose a leader per group and get a card from your teacher. Be ready
to present your task in class. The task will be graded using the rubric provided:
Group 1
Make a sequence chart based from this paragraph:
What are you going to do if your clothes caught fire during an emergency situation? Here are the
things you should do: First, stop where you are – moving or running feeds air to the flames and
worsens the fire. Next, drop to the floor – if you stand up, the fire can burn your face. Fold your arms
high on your chest to protect your face. Then, roll slowly on the floor or ground, in a rug or blanket if
you can. Afterwards, cool off as soon as possible with water for first- and second-degree burns.
Finally, to escape fire, get down low and go.

Group 2
Make a Venn Diagram based from this paragraph:
Impressionism and Expressionism are art movements that appeared around the 20th century in
Europe. Both focus on painting styles. Impressionism emerged during the late 19th century in Paris
whereas expressionism emerged during the early 20th century in Germany and Austria. Moreover,
impressionist artists paid special attention to the depiction of the impression of light and its changing
effect, while expressionist artists paid special attention to the depiction of emotion the subject
arouses in the artist.
