Context of

Text
Developmen
t: Hypertext
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

1. Identify the statements as true or false.


2. Construct a sample hypertext by providing
related reading materials about the given
topic.
3. Realize the importance of disaster
preparedness by interpreting an adage.
PRETEST
Direction: Determine whether the following
statements are TRUE or FALSE.
1. One way to interpret a text’s meaning is to
understand the underlying circumstances that led
to the construction of the material.
2. Context does not consider the time and place in
which the text was written.
3. Hypertext is a text which contains links to other
text.
4. Hyperlinks restrict people from navigating
materials related to the text being searched.
RECAP
We have learned from the previous lesson
that a claim of value is an arguable statement
that presents one’s stand or point about a
particular subject or issue. In doing so, one
needs to present convincing details that
would persuade people to believe in his/her
point.
Today, we will be discussing another
interesting lesson. To start, kindly do the
activity below.
Think of words or ideas that you could associate with
“Global Warming.” Then, answer the questions that
follow.
 What is global warming?
 Explain the relationship of the associated
words/ideas with it?
 How do these words/ideas help you
understand better the meaning of global
warming?
 Can you identify a device/tool that help you
discover other related ideas about a topic
you search on the internet?
LESSON
Being a critical reader also involves understanding
that texts are always developed within a certain
context. A text is neither written nor read in a
vacuum; its meaning and interpretation are affected
by a given set of circumstances. Thus, context is
defined as the social, cultural, political, historical, and
other related circumstances that surround the text
and form the terms from which it can be better
understood and evaluated.
To better understand the message of
the text, there are some readers who
would search for its related reading
materials through the aid of technology
and this practice is known as
hypertextuality which was coined by
Ted Nelson around 1965.
Hypertextuality according to K.
Amaral, 2010 is simply a non-
linear way of presenting
information. It also refers to the
use of hyperlinks (or simply
“links”) to present text and static
graphics. See sample below.
A hyperlink is an automated cross-reference
to another location on the same document or
to another document which, when selected by
a user, causes the computer to display the
linked location or document within a very
short period of time. They take the form of
buttons, underlined words and phrases, and
other “hot” areas on the screen.
Web designers and others who are
interested in hypertext often use the
term “node” to refer to chunks of
content. The term “node” or Web page
is the fundamental unit of hypertext
content while links (or hyperlinks) are
the pathways between nodes.
Hypertext is a type of database that is well
suited for handling large chunks of text. A
database is a set of data that has a regular
structure and that is organized in such a way
that a computer can easily find the desired
information.
Hypertext documents can be static,
dynamic or active.
A static document is one that is
prepared in advance and appears
in the web browser as is. The
author of a static document
determines the content at the
time the document is written.
A dynamically generated
document is one that does not
exist in a final form but, rather, is
produced according to user input,
such as according to information
that a user enters on a form.
An active document consists of a
computer program that the server
sends to the browser and that the
browser must run locally. When it runs,
the active document program can
interact with the user and change the
display continuously.
Activity 1:Direction: Draw if the
statement is correct and if
otherwise.
1. Critical reading is just about
extracting information from a text.
2. Hypertext allows readers to acquire
varied pieces of information which
are updated.
3. Hyperlinks give us choices when we
look for information.
4. Learners who would like to explore
hypertext should have the ability to
access information on the computer.
5. Hypertext allows readers to analyze
information from multiple
perspective.
Activity 2
Illustrate your own sample of
hypertext by identifying the
possible related reading materials
on the topic Disaster
Preparedness.
