your path to the adventurous world of Reading. Reading is an adventure of the heart. It gives
you different and complex emotions once you start to turn the page. It expands your mind
and gives life more Life.
As you read this module you will learn the different types of linear and nonlinear texts
and how to transcode information from linear to non-linear texts. You are provided with
different activities for you to work on to ensure that you understand the lesson and apply it
with ease.
This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful opportunities for
guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You will be enabled to process

What I Know
Now that you know what you are expected to learn from this module,
let's find out first how much you know about them. Follow the directions for
each set of questions.
Pre-test
Instructions. The bar graph below shows the number of ads played in different radio
stations in a day. Use the graph to answer the questions.
7
A. A bar graph is a diagram in which the numerical values of variables are
represented by the height or length of lines or rectangles of equal width.
B. A bar graph can be in the form of vertical or horizontal rectangular bars.
C. A bar graph also uses lines to connect individual data points that display
quantitative values over a specified time interval.

B. 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.
C. In linear text, they use visuals such as pictures and graphs to assist the
readers in understanding the concept of the text.
D. Linear text refers to traditional text that needs to be read from beginning to
the end.
15. Kalena’s cheerleading squad is raising money for the prom by selling candy at

What’s New
SET A

Questions:
1. Between the two sets of examples, which would you prefer more in understanding
a text? Why?
Did the previous activity help you? This part of the module will deepen
your learning about linear and non-linear texts.
The key difference between linear and nonlinear text is their reading path. In a linear
text, a reader can make sense of the text by reading sequentially, from beginning
11
to the end. However, in a nonlinear text, the reading path is nonlinear and
nonsequential, thus, the reader can choose his own reading path.
Note: There will be times when you would have to transcode a linear text to non-
linear text to make it easier for other people to understand it and a non-linear text to
have a detailed description of a certain topic.
What It Is
3. Venn diagram is a diagram used to identify the similarities and differences between
two or more concepts. It is represented by two overlapping circles.
5. Concept Maps are general organizers or textual aids that can show the central
thought with its matching characteristics. These are actually helpful and excellent for
brainstorming, refreshing stock knowledge, and/or generating alternative
expressions. This kind of map can also be used to show or rank the hierarchical
relationships as the most significant concept or concepts should be placed at the top.
6. Pie Graph is a circular chart which is divided into slices or portions to illustrate
proportion.
7. Line Graph is a common type of chart which displays the information as a series of
data points connected by line segments to show trends.
