Objective/s
at the end of this lesson, you are expected to:
Transcode information from linear
to non-linear texts and vice-versa
(EN8RC-IIe-11)
Let’s start learning this!
•Linear text refers to traditional text
that needs to be read from beginning to
the end.
•Linear reading is the traditional mode of
reading we are all taught early on; reading
left to right, from start to finish.
Let’s start learning this!
Non-linear text is the opposite of linear text. As
its name suggests, it is nonlinear and non-
sequential. In other words, the readers do not have
to go through the text in a sequential manner in
order to make sense of the text. This type of text
has many reading paths since it’s the readers who
decide the sequence of reading, not the author of
the text.
The Graphic Organizers
Let’s have them one by one!
Let’s start learning this!
Line Graph –a common type of chart which displays
information as a series of data points connected by straight
line segments to show trends
Let’s start learning this!
Bar Graph –a common type of chart which presents data
with rectangular bars that differ in their sizes. It is usually
scaled so all the data could fit on the chart
Let’s start learning this!
Pie Graph –a circular chart which is divided into slices or
portions to illustrate proportion.
Let’s start learning this!
Pictograph –a chart that uses pictorial symbols to convey the
meaning of statistical information.
Let’s start learning this!
Venn Diagram –an illustration that uses circles to show the
relationship among things or finite group of things
Let’s start learning this!
Concept Diagram –a diagram that represents ideas and
information as boxes and circle and uses lines to show the
relationship between them.
