B.2 Presentation of the lesson

After the allotted time in sharing ideas, teacher will discuss about the Linear and Non-
linear Text.
Based on our activity, the pictures on group A are linear texts, on the other hand, the pictures on
group B are non-linear texts.
The main difference between the two lies in the way the text is read or processed by an
individual. The experts call this pattern of reading a material as reading path. Let us differentiate
linear text from non-linear texts using the table below.

Linear text Non-linear text

Definition It refers to traditional
texts that need to be
read from beginning to
the end.
Reading path There is only ONE
reading path, which is
decided by the author.
Efficiency It may take time to find
information readers are
searching for.
Examples Novels, poems, letters,
textbooks, news reports,
essay.
It refers to texts that do
not need to be read
from beginning to the
end.
There is multiple
reading path. They are
determined by the
reader.
It does not take time
because it allows reader
to find more
information efficiently.
Tables, pie charts, flow
charts, pictures,
diagrams, character
maps, sequence charts.

TRANSCODING LINEAR TO NON-LINEAR TEXTS AND VICE VERSA

To transcode means to transform something from one for to another. In order to transcode a
linear to non-linear texts or the other way around, one must first be able to fully understand what
the source text is about. This way, deciding in the proper text type to be used in the transcoding
process will be easier.
Step 1. Read and understand the source text to get its main or central idea.
Step 2. Extract important details to be included in the visual presentation.
Step 3. To be organized, classify information into categories.

Example:
Influenza (flu) and COVID-19 are both contagious respiratory illnesses, but they are caused by
different viruses. Flu viruses can cause mild to severe illness, including common signs and
symptoms such as fever, or feeling feverish, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, sore throat,
runny or stuffy nose, muscle pain, headache, and in some cases vomiting and diarrhea. Typically,
a person develops symptoms anywhere from 1 to 4 days after infection. On the other hand,
COVID-19 seems to cause more serious illness in some people. Other signs and symptoms of
COVID-19, different from flue, may include changes in or loss of taste or smell. In addition, a
person with COVID-19 virus develops symptoms 5 days after being infected, but symptoms can

appear as early as 2 days after infection or as late as 14 days after infection, and the time range
can vary.

Process question:
1. If the paragraph suggests similarities and differences between influenza (flu) and
COVID-19, what non-linear text should be used to illustrate its similarities and
differences?
2. Transcode the linear text into non-linear (Venn diagram) using the statements from the
paragraph.

B.3 Developmental Activities

Activity No. 1 (Think, pair and share)
Let the student look for their partner. Each pair will create and choose a non-linear text to present
the information below. After the allotted time given, call at least 5 pairs to present their work in
front.
A. The different chores we perform at home.
B. The 5 things we will buy if we have ten thousand pesos. (Indicate prices)

Activity No. 2 (Individual)

Read the following linear text and transcode it to non-linear text.

C. Generalization
Guide Questions:
 What is a linear text and non-linear text? And What are their differences?
 Why it is important for us to learn on how to transcode linear text to non-linear text?
 Is the non-linear text important in our daily lives?

D. Application

Direction: Group the class into 2 groups. Choose a leader per group and get a card from your
teacher. Be ready to present your task in class. The task will be graded using the rubric provided.
Group 1. Transcode a linear text to non-linear text. (Make a sequence chart based from this
paragraph.)

What are you going to do if your clothes caught fire during an emergency situation? Here are the
things you should do: First, stop where you are – moving or running feeds air to the flames and
worsen the fire. Next, drop to the floor – if you stand up, the fire can burn your face. Fold your
arms high on your chest to protect your face. Then, roll slowly on the floor or ground, in a rug or
blanket if you can. Afterwards, cool off as soon as possible with water or first- and second-
degree burns. Finally, to escape fire, get down low and go.

Group 2. Transcode the bar graph into short paragraph. (The bar graph shows the most popular
social media platforms)

RUBRICS FOR GROUP PRESENTATION

DELIVERY 10 points
COLLABORATION 10 points
Total of 20 points
