What I Need to Know

ii

Non-Linear Presentations/Graphic organizers are just so simple—just a

few shapes and lines—yet these tools (non-linear texts) help a lot in showing and
explaining some given information easily, which sometimes linear texts
(sentences and paragraphs) cannot. Presenting information in both text (linear)
and graphic (non-linear) formats is one of the most basic ways to make a lesson
more understandable to all students; and this is what this module is all about.

After reading this module, you should be able to:

 Transcode information from linear to non-linear texts and vice-versa.
(EN8RC-IIe-11)
Specifically:
1. identify linear texts and non-linear texts;
2. interpret linear and non-linear text;
3. extract information from a story and transcode it into a flow chart; and
4. extract information from charts and graphs, and transcode them into
paragraphs.

In going through the module, you have to extend your patience in

understanding and analyzing what you are reading. Follow the directions and/or
instructions in the activities. Answer the entire given test and exercises carefully.
Comply the required activities provided by writing your answers in your English
notebook.

Facts about Coronavirus Disease (CoViD 19)

Corona Virus belongs to a large family of viruses that started in Wuhan

City, China that caused the death of several people globally. It causes a range of
illnesses from common colds to more serious infections where respiratory system
is much affected.

The CoViD 19 as said has caused severe pneumonia in the people of

China where human-to-human transmission happened. As reported, the virus
spread through human droplets. When this is transmitted to another person, he
can acquire the virus and shows some symptoms.
 Some symptoms of corona virus include flu, respiratory symptoms, fever,
cough, and breathing difficulties. It can cause pneumonia, acute respiratory
syndrome, kidney failure, and even death.

In preventing the spread of this corona virus, one should wash hands
using water and soap for 20 seconds; maintain social distancing; don’t touch
your eyes, nose or mouth; cover your mouth with your bent elbow or tissue; stay
at home. If you have some symptoms, ask for medical assistance and follow the
directions of the local authority.

What’s In
Activity 1: Remember Me!

Before you start, you should recall your past lesson. You were learning
about summarizing a text. Now this time, you read and answer the following
questions. Write your answers in your notebook.

1. What is a summary?
2. What are the strategies to consider when summarizing a text?

What’s New
Activity 2: Compare and Contrast!
 Study the boxes of information below and answer the questions that
follow.
A B
Life stages of a Mosquito

Adult, female mosquitoes lay eggs on the inner

walls of containers with water, above the waterline. Eggs
look like black dirt. Eggs stick to container walls like glue. Life
They can survive drying out for up to 8 months. Cycle of
Mosquitoes only need a small amount of water to lay eggs. Mosquito
Larvae live in the water. They hatch from mosquito eggs.
This happens when water (from rain or a sprinkler) covers
the eggs. Larvae can be seen in the water. They are very
active and are often called “wigglers.” Pupae live in the
water. An adult mosquito emerges from the pupa and flies
away. An adult mosquito bites a person. Adult female
mosquitoes bite people and animals. Mosquitoes need
blood to produce eggs. After feeding, female mosquitoes
look for water sources to lay eggs.

What Is It
From the previous activity, you can observe that box A contains the life
stages of a mosquito in a paragraph form. On the other hand, box B has the
drawing of the life cycle of a mosquito. Both have the same information but differ
in presentation.
Box A is an example of a linear text, while box B is an example of a non-
linear text.
Lesson 1 Definition of Linear and Non-linear Text
vii

A. What is linear text?

 Linear text is a text that is written in a traditional way without the aid of
graphics. It is read from left to right, from beginning to end, and has syntactic and
grammatical features. It is presented in a paragraph form just like what is shown
in box A. The author of the text decides the order or sequence of the text.
Examples:
Print: novels, short stories, poems, educational texts, news articles and letters.

B. What is non-linear text?
1
 Non-linear text is represented using different kinds of graphics such as
charts and graphs and other figures. It is also called non-linear because the
reader does not read it sequentially; instead the reader of the text decides the
sequence in reading the text.
Examples:
A line graph is used to record and present changes in data over a period
of time.

A bar graph works similarly to a line graph. It only differs in the use of
bars of
different heights
to show
different values.

Lesson 2 4 Interpreting Linear and Non-linear Text

Note!
One kind of a narrative that is told and retold is an epic. It is a long narrative
poem based on oral tradition that tells about a legendary hero who exhibits qualities
admired in a person-- in addition to his great fighting ability and mental alertness.
Philippine epics represent ethnic groups, and deal with regional heroes.

Now this time, you are going to read a Maranao epic. Read very carefully
and be ready to answer the questions after reading. Ready, begin!
 The Good Prince Bantugan

There is a kingdom called Bumbaran. There lived three

brothers: King Agaanon Dalinan, Prince Bantugan and Prince
Madali. Bantugan was famous for his bravery and good looks,
which attracted many women. This made the king envious.
One day enemies attacked the kingdom. Prince
Bantugan led his men to defend the kingdom. While he was gone
the evil king plotted against the good prince. The king banned his
people from talking to the prince or they will be punished.
Bantugan left the palace and ended up
in the Kingdom-Between-Two-Seas. Bantugan
fell ill and died at the kingdom gates. The king of the land
and Princess Datimbang were shocked at his dead body.
Even in death Prince Bantugan was very handsome.
Princess Datimbang felt inlove and sorrow.
Nobody in the land knew of the prince.
The king held a forum with the wise men to deal with Bantugan’s
corpse until a parrot came and told them of his identity. The parrot
was tasked to tell King Dalinan and Prince Madali of
their brother’s death, which he did.
They heard the news and felt sad towards their brother’s
death. They hurriedly flew to the heavens to retrieve Bantugan’s
soul. They returned home bringing the soul of Bantugan and
transferred it immediately to the prince’s body. Bantugan then was revived.
Princess Datimbang and the people of Bumbaran
rejoiced.
Later, Prince Bantugan married Princess Datimbang
and they lived happily ever after.

Lesson 3 Transcoding
9 Linear to Non-linear Text and vice-versa

The word transcode means to change language or information from one

form of representation to another.

In transcoding, you should extract information from a linear text to non-

linear text. Here are some steps for you to follow:

Step 1: Read the passage to get a general idea of the subject matter.
Step 2: Look at the visual to identify what information is needed to
complete the chart or graph.
Step 3: Locate the relevant information in the passage and transfer it to
the chart or graph. Use only key words or phrases- not whole
sentences.
Step 4: You may be required to classify information into categories under
headings. You may have to come up with your headings.
Example of transcoding linear to non-linear text.
Linear text Non-linear text

Water Cycle

Water is the most precious natural resource Process of Water Cycle

on earth. The water cycle is the process where
water circulates from the land to the sky and vice-
versa. The water cycle is composed of the following Condensation
stages. Evaporation is the transfer of water from
the surface of Earth to the atmosphere. By
evaporation, water in the liquid state is transferred
to the gaseous or vapour state. The transition Evaporati Precipitatio
on n
process from the vapour state to the liquid state is
called condensation. By condensation, water
vapour in the atmosphere is released to form
precipitation. Precipitation that falls to the earth is Water
distributed in four main ways: evaporation,
intercepted by vegetation and the evaporated from
surfaces of leaves, infiltration into the soil and the
remainder flows directly as surface runoff into the

In transcoding non-linear to linear text you should follow these steps:

Step 1: Spend 5 minutes reading the graphs/charts, etc.
Step 2: Make sure you understand axes.
Step 3: Make sure you follow lines on graph.
Step 4: Focus on the key information.
Step 5: Observe correct grammatical structure.
 Step 6: Vary your vocabulary.
Step 7: Organize information clearly.
Step 8: Write neatly.

As a young teen, Riz does not enjoy as much as other teenagers would. Her
weekends are spent on looking for work so she can earn her allowance. She spends two
hundred pesos a week. One hundred pesos for her lunch, eighty pesos for her fare and
twenty pesos for classroom dues.
She earns more than what she needs for the week. On Saturdays, her routine
would be to go to a distant relative and wash clothes for a small earning of one hundred
pesos. In the afternoon, she volunteers weeding at a neighbor’s garden for an hour and
gratefully receives fifty pesos for the work extended.
On Sunday after church, she would iron out her teacher’s uniform for a fee of one
hundred pesos. Despite her weekend routine, she remains to be one of the smartest in
class.

similarities and differences between Youtube and Facebook. For the
similarities, write your answers inside the overlapping space. For their
differences, write your answers inside the common space of the two circles.

The DNA of Youtube and Facebook are different. Youtube is a video

hosting platform which is run by its parent organization – Google (Alphabet).
Google’s DNA is search and hence the same DNA is applicable to
Youtube. What this essentially means is that – Videos which we create are
properly ‘searchable’.
Where in a Facebook is a ‘video also’ sharing platform and its DNA is
‘virality’. In fact, we need Facebook only to make ‘Youtube video’ viral. Having
said that, the problem with Facebook is that, it is difficult to search for a particular
video.
