Attendance
Okay. Thank you.
e. Passing of I remember giving the class an (Students do as told)
Assignments assignment. Please pass it forward
quietly. Thank you.
f. Review So, before we proceed to our new
topic, let’s have first a review. Does
anyone remember our topic last
meeting?

Okay, Rachel. (Rachel raises her hand)

Yes, absolutely! Our topic last meeting was about

analogy, ma’am.
So, what is it all about?

Yes Rainne, you are raising your (Rainne raises his hand)
hand.
It is a comparison between things
that have similar features, ma’am.
Very good Rainne.

An analogy is a pair of terms that

has common relationship. In most
cases, you will not only determine Yes ma’am!
the common relationship between
each pair but you will also
have to identify which term makes
up each pair. Am I right, class?

Very good. Now, since you already

have the knowledge about the
previous topic, then I guess you are
now ready for our next lesson. Are
you ready? Yes, ma’am.

b. Lesson Proper
Teacher’s Hints Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
a. Activity/ Before we proceed to our lesson (students do as told)
Motivation today, let us have an activity first.
But, I will group you first into 3
groups. Now, please count until
number 3. So, this side is group 1,
here is group 2, and on that side is
group 3. Please move, quietly!

This activity is called CONNECT Yes, ma’am.

ME. I have here 6 pictures, but I will
give you 2 pictures in each group.
All you need to do is, you are going
to match the following pictures
according to their similarities. There
are 2 categories; in group A are the
Pictures that use texts that need to be
read from beginning to end, while
group B pictures that do not need to
be read from beginning to end. Put
and connect the picture to its
appropriate category. Is that clear?

So, choose 1 representative in each

group, and put whether the pictures
is in category A or B.

(The teacher distributes the pictures)

Let’s start! Are you ready? In Yes, ma’am.

1..2..3..Go!

Okay! Good job everyone! Let us
clap our hands to ourselves!
c. Analysis Okay. So based from our activity (Fe raises her hand)
earlier, do you have any idea about
our topic for today?
I think it’s about text and graphs,
Yes Fe? ma’am?

Yes, it could be. Another? Ma’am?

Yes? I think that it needs to be read from

beginning to end, and the other one
is, it doesn’t need to be read from
beginning to an end.

Yes, absolutely! So, what is it It is called, linear and non-linear

called? text, ma’am.

Yes! Very good, Alyssa. So based

from our activity, the category A is
linear text and the category B is non-
 linear text.
d. Abstraction We will learn more about linear and
non-linear text as we dig deeper into
this lesson, but before that, let us
first read the objectives for today’s
lesson. Everybody read.
So class, do you have any idea on
what is the meaning of text?
OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, the
students are expected to:
a. Identify linear and non-
linear text;
b. Appreciate the importance
of transcoding linear to non-
linear text, and
c. Transcode linear texts to
non-linear texts and vice
versa.
It refers to anything that can be read
which is used to send or convey a
particular meaning, ma’am.

Yes, very good! So, texts are

categorized as either linear or non-
linear text. Let us start first with the
linear text. Linear text refers to
traditional texts which are those
texts that uses words in order to
form sentences and paragraphs, This
type of text needs to be read from
the beginning up to the end to get
and understand the message of the
writer.

So give me some examples of Linear (Dandy raises his hand)

texts?

Yes, Dandy you’re raising your Newspapers, ma’am.

hand.

Yes, what else? Essays, ma’am.

Yes, very good! Those are some

examples of linear text, and there are
also stories, poems, essays, letters,
and etc.

Do you have any questions on linear None, ma’am.

texts?

Now, let’s go to Non-linear text.

Non-linear text is the opposite of
linear text. As its name suggests, this
type of text uses words combined
with symbols and graphs to convey
and give information. In this type of
text, the reader that does not have to
go through the text sequentially in
order to make sense of the text. The
reader decides where to start reading
or which parts to read.

So, what are some examples of non- Graphs, ma’am.

linear text?

Yes, what else? Table, and charts, ma’am.

Okay, very good!

So, some examples of non-linear Yes, ma’am.

texts are; graphs, timelines,
organizational charts, tables,
flowcharts, diagram, and venn
diagram. Am I clear?

Aside from reading these types of

text, sometimes you will also be
asked to transcode the information
from one form to another. When you
transcode, you convert a linear text
to its non-linear text representation,
for example a paragraph to a pie
chart, or vice versa, non-linear text
to linear text example a table into a
paragraph. Take note that when it is
done, the original message of the
text is not changed or revised, only
the structure and format.

In transcoding, you should extract Step 1: Read and understand the

information from a linear text to
non-linear text.
Here are some steps for you to
follow, please read!
Let us look at the example:
Linear to Non-Linear
source text to get it 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

So, what have you observed in this?
Yes, Shane?
Yes, correct!
So, do you have any questions?
Now, in In transcoding non-linear to
linear text you should follow these
steps, please read!
Here’s an example of non-linear text
to linear text.
(Shane raises her hand)
I think that it is about the process of
water cycle, from linear text which
is in paragraph converted to a non-
linear text which is a cycle diagram.
None so far, ma’am.
Step 1: Make sure you understand
axes.
Step 2: Make sure you follow lines
on graph.
Step 3: Focus on the key
information.
Step 4: Observe correct grammatical
structure.
Step 5: Vary your vocabulary. Step
6: Organize information clearly.
Step 7: Write neatly
(Anthony raises his hand)
 So, in here. What have you
observed?
It is about Jack’s Daily Routine,
Yes, Anthony? ma’am. From a non-linear text
which is a pie chart, to a paragraph
form.

None, ma’am.
Yes, correct! So do you have any
questions about the topic?
e. Application Since you don’t have any questions Yes, ma’am.
with regards to our topic. Now, we
will be having 2 activities. Let’s
start with the 1st activity, and this
activity is called RAISE ME UP. So,
on the same group. You are going to
identify whether the picture is linear
text or non-linear text. So, I will
show you some pictures, then you’re
going to raise (check) sign if it is a
linear text and raise (cross) sign if it
is a non-linear text. Am I clear?

Then whoever raises their sign first Yes, ma’am.

and if it in correct answer will get 5
points, and others are 3 points. Do
you get it?

Are you ready, Group 1? Are you

ready group 2? Are you ready group YES MA’AM!
3?

The first picture is…

Did you enjoy the activity?

Yes, ma’am.
Okay. Very good everybody!. Let us
give ourselves a round of applause. (students do as told)

Now let’s move on to our second

activity. This activity is called
TRANSCODE ADVENTURE. So, I
have here pictures, manila paper,
 and a marker. In this activity, you’re
going to transcode or convert linear
text to non-linear text So, each
group will be given a picture of
linear text and what you’re going to
do is to transcode it to non linear
text. And, choose a representative
and present your outputs in front,
okay class? So you will just be given
5 minutes to transcode the pictures
to its form.

Do you understand? Yes, ma’am.

Are you ready? Yes, ma’am.

Okay, let’s start.

Group 2

Group 3

Good job, everyone! Let’s clap our

hands to ourselves!

c. Generalization
Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
I know that you’ve learned a lot from today’s Ma’am?
discussion, can anyone summarize the lesson?
Please raise your hand if you want to answer.
 Yes, Glazy? The linear texts needs to be read from beginning
to end, while the non-linear texts is the opposite
of linear texts, the reader decides where to start
reading or which parts to read.

(Naden raises her hand)

Yes, very good! So, what is the importance of
using different linear and non-linear text?

Yes, Naden? Using different types of text helps us learn in

different ways. Linear text, is good for organized
information and step-by-step learning. Non-linear
text, it makes learning more interesting and helps
us think creatively. Both types are important for a
well-rounded education.

Yes, correct! Another? Yes, Rhelyn?
For me, ma’am, Linear text is like following a
path, good for clear learning. Non-linear text is
like exploring, good for imagination and thinking
outside the box. Both are helpful for learning
different things.

Okay, very good! What is the importance of (Mikka raises her hand)
having knowledge in transcoding linear to
nonlinear and vice versa in a student life?

Yes, Mikka you’re raising your hand.
Transcoding linear to non-linear texts and vice
versa is an important skill to develop. As a reader
transcoding linear to non-linear text will help us
students gain better understanding and recall, and
easier access to information if we need to review.

Yes, absolutely!
