III. PROCEDURE
Teacher’s Activity
Students’ Activity
A. Preparatory
1. Routine
“Good afternoon class! How is your day so
far?”
“That’s good to hear! So can I expect a full
blast of energy and active participation from
you?”
“Good afternoon, Sir. We are fine.”
“Yes Sir.”
a. Prayer
“Before we begin the lesson this afternoon, let
us ask the guidance of almighty God and let
us enlighten our mind to completely
understand the lesson this afternoon. I would
like to ask the class president to please lead
the prayer?”
“Yes Sir.”
“Loving heavenly Father,
We come to you this hour asking for your
blessing and help us as we are gathered
together.
We pray for guidance in the matters at
hand and ask that you would clearly show
us how to conduct our work with a spirit of
joy and enthusiasm. Give us the desire to
find ways to excel in our work.
Help us to work together and encourage
each other to excellence. We ask that we
would challenge each other to reach higher
and farther to be the best we can be. We
ask this in the name of the Lord Jesus
Christ.
Amen.”
b. Checking of Attendance
“For our checking of attendance, I would like
to ask your classroom secretary to note the
names of those who are absent today”
“Yes Sir.”
“Thank you”
c. Setting of Classroom Standards
“Good afternoon again class, we are your intern
teachers, my name is Salvador Olivar or you can
call me sir Salv for short, together with Ma’am
Maria, so we are assigned to teach in your class,
so as your teacher we have also our class rules.”
1. Respect and listen to the teacher.
2. Respect and listen to your classmates.
3. Raise your hand to speak.
4. Share your ideas.
5. Always try to communicate in English.
d. Review
“Let’s have a short review on the past lesson
last week. Josh kindly give us a short recap
about our previous lesson”
“Yes Sir.”
“Last time we discussed about simple
present tense. When we say simple
present tense it involves using a verb
to describe something that happens
continually in the present. It is used for
things that happen often or for factual
statements.”
“Thank you Josh”
e. WORDS OF THE DAY
“So, let's proceed to our word of the day, so I
guess Sir Jerick already assigned somebody to
present his or her word of the day, am I right?”
“You may present it now”
“Yes Sir.”
“Good afternoon everyone, our word of
the day is Arduous. It means very
difficult or difficult to accomplish.”
“Thank you Jewel for that very interesting
word.”
“For example, climbing a mountain is
an arduous task.”
2. Motivational
“For our motivational activity, we will be
playing a game called “Guess what". I will
show you some pictures together with its
definition, and all you have to do is to identify
the unknown word. Understood?”
“For number one, what is your answer, Clint?”
“Yes Sir.”
“Chart, Sir”
“Correct!”
“For number 2, what is your answer Mike?”
“Linear Text, Sir”
“Very Good!”
“For our last pictures, Justine what is your
answer?”
“Venn Diagram, Sir”
“Correct!”
“Very good class! So, our topic this afternoon
is about Using charts and transcoding
information in linear text into informational
maps”
“Since I have given you the definitions of
some important terms, I want somebody to
recall the definition of chart”
“Correct!”
“I, Sir”
“A chart is a diagram, picture, or
graph which is intended to make
information easier to understand.”
“Linear text refers to traditional text that
needs to be read from beginning to the
end.”
“How about linear text?”
“Nonlinear Sir”
“Correct!”
“What is the opposite of linear text?
“Yes Sir.”
“Correct!”
“Can you define what is non-linear text”
“Very good Samantha”
B. Developmental Activities
1. ACTIVITY
“Nonlinear text is the opposite of linear
text. As its name suggests, it is
nonlinear and non-sequential. In other
words, the readers do not have to go
through the text in a sequential manner
in order to make sense of the text.”
“So now, let us proceed with our activity. I
want you to get your pen and paper as you
will be jotting down your answers. So, in our
activity, I will be showing you some pictures of
which you will answer ‘linear or non- linear
texts', understood? In every slide you will be
given only 10 seconds to answer.”

2. ANALYSIS
“Let’s check your answers class”
“For the number 1, what is your answer
Maricris?”
“Why?”
“Yes Sir.”
“Good, how about number two Sam?”
“It’s linear Sir”
“Why?”
“Because that is an article, and an
article can be read from the beginning
to the end”
“Very good”
“For the number three, Mitchelle what is your
answer?”
“Nonlinear Sir”
“For the number four, Bea what is your
“Because one of the examples of chart
is table”
answer?”
“Good”
“For the number five, Carol what is your
answer?”
“Nonlinear Sir, because Venn diagram
is an example of chart”
“Great”
“It’s linear Sir, because Essay needs to
be read from beginning to the end ”
“For the number six, Brad what is your
answer?”
“Why?”
“It’s linear also Sir, since poem needs
to be read from beginning to the end as
well ”
“Very good”
“Nonlinear Sir”
“For the last number, Catt what is your
answer?”
“Because we cannot read it from
beginning to the end just like essays or
poems; we skim through them to obtain
the specific information we need.”
“Absolutely”
“Thank you class for all of your ideas”
3. ABSTRACTION
“What have you learned today?”
“linear Sir, because novel is an
example of it”
“When we say linear texts what are the
examples, Mario?”
“We learned that linear text refers to
traditional text that needs to be read
from beginning to the end while
nonlinear text refers to text that does
not need to be read from beginning to
the end”
“Correct!”
“How about when we say nonlinear texts what
are the examples, Beck?”
“The examples of linear texts include
novels, poems, short stories, letters,
educational texts, and all those texts
we read from the beginning to the end”
“Correct!”
3. APPLICATION
“For your application, read and study the text I
will provide. Then, create a non-linear text using
the given information. Choose the appropriate
non-linear visual from the following. You will be
given only 5 minutes to answer”
.
.
.
.
“The examples of nonlinear texts
include flowcharts, charts, and graphs
(ex: pie chart, bar graphs), graphical
organizers such as knowledge maps
and story maps.”

“Here is the text that you will transcode:”
[After five minutes]
“Time’s up!”
“Okay, Kenneth kindly present your work”
[The students will read the passage
and they will choose which among the
three nonlinear visuals is the most
appropriate for transcoding.]
“Yes Sir”
“Good afternoon everyone, here is my
work”
Eggs
“For our last linear text, I want you to choose
your own nonlinear visual but make sure that
it is appropriate to the passage I am going to
present”
Boys Will be Boys
By Helena Daily English
The two brothers loved each other. But sometimes they argued with
each other. Sometimes they yelled at each other. Sometimes they
pushed each other. Sometimes they hit each other. Sometimes they got
into a fight with each other. Bobby was the older brother. Billy was the
younger brother. Bobby was older than Billy. Billy was younger than
Bobby. Bobby climbed into a tree. His kite was in the tree. He could not
reach his kite. He fell out of the tree. Billy laughed. He laughed when
he saw Bobby fall to the ground. Bobby was not hurt. But he was angry.
“Why are you laughing?” he asked Billy. “That was funny!” Billy said.
Bobby said it wasn’t funny. Billy said it was funny. Bobby pushed Billy.
Billy pushed Bobby. Bobby punched Billy in the stomach. Billy punched
Bobby in the stomach. They put their arms around each other. They
wrestled on the ground. They rolled around and around. Their mom
came outside. “What are you two doing?” she asked. She separated
them. She said, “You shouldn’t hit each other. That’s not nice. Wait till
your father gets home.” She sent them to their rooms.
[After five minutes]
“Time’s up!”
“Okay, Sofia kindly present your work”

“I chose block chart since the passage
is all about the life cycle of a frog.”
“Very good Sofia”
“Yes Sir”
“Thank you class”
“I chose Venn diagram as my chart
because I want to compare and
contrast Bobby to his younger brother”
