Objectives: 1. Identify linear and non-linear texts 2. Express understanding of presented data by transcoding from linear to non-linear and vice versa 3. Transcode linear text to non-linear text and vice versa
Linear Text traditional text that needs to be read from beginning to end follows a sequential reading path where the reader tries to make sense of the text through grammatical arrangement and relationship of words.
it also includes printed texts E.g. novels, poems, short stories, letters, essays, articles
Non-Linear Text non-sequential which means the reader, not the author, decide how the text is to be read without necessarily following a prescribed pattern Examples: charts, diagrams, and other graphic organizers
EXAMPLES OF NON-LINEAR TEXTS
Venn Diagram uses two overlapping shapes usually circles to show or represent the similarities and differences between two or more items or concepts Sharks Whales -hunt for their food - fish -only have cartilages -do not have this hunting tendency -mammals -have bones -marine animals -live in the ocean environment -only have single tail -large aquatic animals -consume large volume of food
Pie Graph is a circular statistical tool. It uses portions or slices to represent numerical proportions or percentages of a given whole. Whales -do not have this hunting tendency -mammals -have bones
Flow Chart a diagram representing a process using different symbols containing information about steps or a sequence of events. Each of these symbols is linked with arrows to illustrate the flow direction of the process

Transcoding Linear to Non-Linear Texts and Vice Versa
TRANSCODING -to transcode means to transform something from one form to another
To transcode a linear text to a non-linear text, one may follow these steps: Step 1: Read the passage to get a general idea of the subject matter. Step 2: Think of the appropriate graphic organizer to use Step 3: Look at the visual to identify what information is needed to complete the chart. Step 4: Locate the relevant information in the passage and transfer it to the chart. Use keywords or phrases only. Step 5: You may be required to classify information into categories under headings.
Transcoding non-linear text to linear text Step 1: Interpret a diagram, table, charts and graphs and present the information in your own words. Step 2: Organize, present and possibly compare. Step 3: Describe an object, event, or series of events.
TASK 2. TRUE OR FALSE. Tell whether the statements about linear and non-linear texts are true or false. If the statement is true, say “ANO Panes!” and if the statement is false, say “AW ANO!”. 1. Non-linear text focuses on the arrangement of the words both grammatically and stylistically.
Texts with visuals or graphs are considered as examples of non-linear texts. 3. In linear text, the readers do not have to go through the text in a sequential manner in order to make sense of the text.
4. Novels, poems, short stories, letters, articles, and all those texts we read from the beginning to the end are linear texts. 5. Non-linear text is combined with visual elements.
