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

3. PIE GRAPH is a circular statistical tool that uses portions or slices to represent numerical proportions or
percentages of a given whole.
 4. VENN DIAGRAM uses overlapping shapes (usually circles) to show or represent the similarities and
differences between two or more items or concepts. In using Venn diagram, first write down the topics being
compared on the top of each circle. Next, write down the differences or unique characteristics inside its own
sector, avoiding the overlapping area. Lastly, list the similarities in the common area.

5. SEQUENCE CHART is a graphic sequence organizer that helps visualize the order of steps of a process or a
timeline of events, etc. In using sequence chart, first, identify the steps in the process and then arrange these
steps in sequential order.

Process Questions:
1. Why do non-linear texts are effective in reading?
2. Which of the following non-linear texts are you familiar with? Where do you usually see these non-linear
texts?
3. As a student, what is the importance of learning linear texts and non-linear texts?

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

4. 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.

Group 3
The bar graph shows the number of coronavirus (COVID-19) cases in the Philippines as of April 2, 2020 by
gender. Transcode the bar graph into a short paragraph:

Group 4
The pie graph shows the family budget plan of Mrs. Reyes. Transcode the pie graph into a short paragraph:

RUBRICS FOR GROUP PRESENTATION

DELIVERY 10 points
COLLABORATION 10 points
20 points

D. ASSESSMENT
Transcode the linear text below to non-linear text. (5 points)

1-5. Read carefully the selection below. Copy the Venn diagram and write the similarities and differences
between Youtube and Facebook. For the similarities, write your answers inside the overlapping space. For
their differences, write your answers inside the common space of the two circles.

The DNA of Youtube and Facebook are different. Youtube is a video hosting platform which is run by its
parent organization – Google (Alphabet).Google’s DNA is search and hence the same DNA is applicable to
Youtube. What this essentially means is that – Videos which we create are properly ‘searchable’.Where in a
Facebook is a ‘video also’ sharing platform and its DNA is ‘virality’. In fact, we need Facebook only to make
‘Youtube video’ viral. Having said that, the problem with Facebook is that, it is difficult to search for a
particular video.

E. AGREEMENT

In your notebook, write a paragraph about ‘My Daily Study Plan’. Afterwards, use an appropriate non-
linear text for the said topic. Be ready to share your work to the class.
