Lesson 7 Linear and Non Linear Text

This document provides information about linear and non-linear texts. It defines linear texts as needing to be read sequentially from beginning to end, such as novels or stories. Non-linear texts do not have a prescribed order and can be read in any way, like charts, graphs, or diagrams. The document then gives steps for transcoding a linear text into a non-linear format, such as extracting key details and organizing information into visual categories. It provides examples of different non-linear text types and includes sample activities for readers to practice converting data into line graphs, bar graphs, and pie charts.

LESSON 7:

LINEAR AND NON-


LINEAR TEXTS
1. Out of the total number of cases reported, how
many were actually fresh cases confirmed during
the date indicated?
2. Which city had the most number of new
infections?
3. Out of the total number of active cases
reported, how m a n y p a t i e n t s w e r e
asymptomatic?
4. Out of the total number of active
cases reported, how many had mild
symptoms?
5. What was the cumulative number
of confirmed cases reported as of the
date indicated?
LINEAR AND NON-
LINEAR TEXTS
A linear text refers to
traditional text that needs to

be read from beginning to


end in order to make sense
of its content.
The common examples of this type
include novels, poems, short stories,
letters and educational texts.
A non-linear text, on the other hand,
is non-sequential. This means that the
readers, not the author, decide how
the text is to be read without
necessarily following a prescribed
pattern.
The most common
examples of non-linear
texts include flowcharts,
charts, graphs and other
graphic organizers.
LINE GRAPH
A line graph is a graphical display
of data that continuously changes
over a specific amount or period of
time. The line or lines represent
movement and may ascend or
descend depending on the trend
they show.
Also known as a bar chart or bar
diagram, a bar graph is a graphical
representation of data that uses
BAR GRAPH bars to compare data according to
given categories. Such bars may
run either vertically or
horizontally.
A pie chart or pie graph is a
circular statistical tool. It uses
portions or slices to represent

numerical proportions or
percentages of a given whole.
VENN DIAGRAM

A Venn diagram uses overlapping


shapes (usually circles) to show or
represent the similarities and
differences between two or more
items or concepts.
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.
TO TRANSCODE A LINEAR TEXT TO A NON-
LINEAR TEXT, ONE MAY FOLLOW THESE
STEPS:
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.
