EN10RC-IIa-11: Transcode information from

linear to non-linear texts and vice-versa

Contextualized Competency:

Transcode local information from linear to non-

linear and vice-versa
Activity
Group the following pictures according
to their similarities. Connect the picture to
its appropriate group. Each group is
labeled as A (Pictures that use texts that
need to be read from beginning to end)
and B (pictures that do not need to be
read from beginning to end).
Analysis
Answer the following questions:

1. How did you find the activity?

2. What is the difference between the two
groups?
3. Which of the following groups can be
easily read? Why?
4. Which of the following groups need
time to finish reading? Why?
 
Abstraction
LINEAR AND NON-LINEAR TEXT

Based on our activity, the pictures in group A are

linear texts, on the other hand, the pictures in
group B are non-linear texts.

EXAMPLES Novels, poems, letters, Tables, pie charts, flow charts,

Process Questions: 1. What is the difference between linear text from non-linear
text in terms of reading path?
2. Based on the examples, in what subject areas can we
usually see linear texts? Non-linear texts?
FOR NON-LINEAR TEXTS
LINE GRAPH is a graphical display that uses
line to represent the data on continuously
changes over a specific amount or period of
time
BAR GRAPH is a graphical
representation of data that uses bars to
compare data according to given
categories. Such bars may run either
vertically or horizontally
PIE GRAPH is a circular statistical tool that
uses portions or slices to represent numerical
proportions or percentages of a given whole.
VENN DIAGRAM uses overlapping shapes
(usually circles) to show or represent the
similarities and differences between two or more
items or concepts. In using Venn diagram, first
write down the topics being compared on the top
of each circle. Next, write down the differences
or unique characteristics inside its own sector,
avoiding the overlapping area. Lastly, list the
similarities in the common area
SEQUENCE CHART is a graphic sequence
organizer that helps visualize the order of steps
of a process or a timeline of events, etc. In using
sequence chart, first, identify the steps in the
process and then arrange these steps in
sequential order.
To transcode means to transform
something from one form to another. In
order to transcode a linear to a non-linear
text or the other way around, one must
first be able to fully understand what the
source text is about. This way, deciding on
the proper text type to be used in the
transcoding process will be easier.
To transcode a linear text to a non-linear
text, one may follow these steps:
 
Application

Steps in transcoding texts

Step 1. Read and understand the source text to

get its main or central ideas.
Step 2. Extract important details to be included
in the visual presentation.
Step 3. Remember to use words or phrases only.
Step 4. To be organized, classify information into
categories.
Step 5. Make sure to use the appropriate non-
linear text in presenting your information.
Generalization/Valuing Complete the
sentence:
In this lesson, I learned the differences
between linear and non-linear texts and is
an essential skill as we encounter these texts
almost every day. The main difference
between the two lies in the way the text is
read or processed by an individual. Experts
call this pattern of reading a material as
reading path.  
Application
Read the text below. Transcode LINEAR TO NON-LINEAR TEXTS,
Answer the following questions provided.
 
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 illnesses in
some people. Other signs and symptoms of COVID-19, different from
flu, may include change 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 Questions:
1. Based on the text, what is the similarity between influenza (flu)
and COVID-19?
2. What is the difference between influenza and COVID-19?
3. If the paragraph suggests similarities and differences between
influenza and COVID-19, what non-linear text should be used to
illustrate its similarities and differences?
4. Using the information lifted from the paragraph, transcode the
linear text into Venn Diagram using the statements lifted from the
paragraph.
Statements:
Contagious Respiratory Illnesses
Cause mild to severe illness
Cause more serious illnesses such as change in or loss of
taste or smell
Symptoms develop from 1-4 days
Symptoms develop 5 days after infected

SALUKARA (Rice Crepe) is a native delicacy of Borongan, Eastern

Samar. A pancake or crêpe-like rice flour delicacy that uses tuba or
young coconut wine as a riser instead of baking powder. The taste is
a cross between a hot cake, bibingka and puto. It looks like a
hotcake but tastes like bibingka and puto.
For the ingredients, we need 2 ½ kilos ground rice, 2 cups coconut
milk, 2 cups water, 2 ½ cups sugar, 1 glass tuba
To prepare this, mix ground rice together with other ingredients and
set aside for 6-7 hours. Then heat the pan on low fire, grease with
cooking oil then pour the mixture with your size of salukara. Once
the top is already cooked, remove from pan and no need to turn it
over. Each salukara is cooked for 4-5 minutes.

Group 2
Make a Venn Diagram based from this paragraph:
Philippine folkdance is rich in history and tradition. Like
Careñosa and Kuratsa, show the way of life of the Filipino
through the years.
Careñosa is a folkdance that shows the courtship stage of
couple
The Kuratsa is considered a courtship dance in the
Philippines. This Filipino dance has three parts. First is
where the couple performs a waltz. Second, the music
sets a faster pace as the man pursues the woman around
the dance floor in a chase. Lastly, the music becomes
even faster as the man wins over the woman with his
mating dance.
