Linear and Nonlinear Text

The document discusses linear and non-linear text. It defines linear text as following a sequential reading pattern, while non-linear text combines words and visual elements without a set reading order. Examples of non-linear text include graphs, tables, graphic organizers and pictures. The document then examines common types of non-linear text in more detail: graphic organizers, tables, and charts/graphs. It provides examples and definitions of line graphs, bar graphs, column graphs, and pie charts. The document concludes with an activity that tests understanding of a non-linear text on Australia's language composition through multiple choice questions, followed by converting that non-linear text to a linear format.

Linear and
Non-linear Text
What is linear and
non-linear text?
Linear Text
√ It is the most common
type of reading and
follows a sequential
reading pattern.
√ It focuses on the
arrangement of words,
both grammatically and
stylistically.
Can you give
examples of
linear text?
Linear Text

Examples:
Speech Newspaper
Story Etc.
Letter
Report
Non-Linear Text

√ It is a text
combined with visual
elements.

√ The reading path


is not sequential.
Can you give
examples of non-
linear text?
Non-Linear Text

Examples:
Graphs/Charts
Tables
Graphic Organizers
Pictures
Maps
Common Kinds
of Non-linear
Text
1. Graphic Organizers
- communication tool that uses visual
symbols to express knowledge, concepts or
thoughts and the relationships between them.
- provide a visual aid to facilitate
learning and instruction

Already discussed on our previous lessons…..


2. Table
- is a tabular representation of data.
- represented by words, numbers or signs
usually in parallel columns/rows
displaying set of facts/relations in a
compact and comprehensive form
