 B. Review
Last meeting we discussed about linear
and non-linear text.

Now, what is a linear text once again? Student 1: It is a traditional text that needs
to be red from beginning to the end.

So, linear text involves reading the

whole text from beginning to the end.
Now, who can give me an example of
linear text? Student 2: Novels, Short Story, Essays etc.

How about non-linear text? What is a

non-linear text? Student 3: The readers do not have to go
through the text in a sequential manner in
order to make sense of the text.
So, non-linear text it is a text combined
with some visual elements like
(pictures, graphs, tables, charts and
etc.)

What are examples of non-linear text? Student 4: Line Graph, Bar Graph,
Dictionary, and many others.

Okay! Very good! Those are some of

the examples of a non-linear text.
