LEARNING COMPETENCY ➢ Determine the effect of textual aids like advance organizers, titles, non-linear illustrations, etc. on the understanding of a text EN10RC - Ia - 11.1 Activity 1: A Puzzle is Worth a Word 01 LINEAR TEXTS refers to a group of sentences that needs to be read from beginning to end to make sense of the text. EXAMPLES Essays Short Stories Novels Letters Educational Texts 02 ▪ NON- LINEAR TEXTS It is a reading material that has different reading paths. The reading path may be guided by illustrations, numbers, arrows, or lines. The text makes sense by following the visual guide. EXAMPLES Graphic Organizers Concept Maps Diagrams Charts Activity 2: Linear or Non-Linear Directions: Select which of the items are examples of non-linear texts. A B D C E F 03 ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ TEXTUAL AIDS These are graphics on a page that stand out form a main text. They help readers understand the texts they are reading ,and visualize what they are reading. They help readers enhance their learning as they read through the material (esp. in Mathematics and Sciences) They can appear in many forms such as: diagrams, graphs, charts, tables, maps and timelines. Diagrams • These are drawings that explain or show something such as understanding steps, how objects are made, or information in the text. Graphs • A graph is a visual comparison of data and is often used in Mathematics and Science research. After gathering, information, we place it in a bar/pie/line format to help us read facts and figures in a short amount of time. Flowchart • A flowchart shows a series of events in proper order. If you have concept that has steps such as processes or sequence, this is what you need to use. Timeline • A timeline shows specific events in sequence in which they happened. However, it usually shows dates, in a linear fashion, from the oldest to the most recent , or vice versa. Other forms of non-textual information include concept maps, spider map, sensory observation chart, line graph, bar graph, pie graph, pictograph and other related images. Information may also be presented in a form of infographics. Transcoding Linear to Non-Linear Text Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 • Read the text and get the main idea. • Extract necessary information for the visual presentation. • Remember to use keywords or phrases only. • Classify information into categories. • Make sure to use the correct non-linear text to present the information. ACTIVITY 1: In a ½ sheet of paper, transform the text below into a non-textual information source using the appropriate textual aids. Sharks and whales are classic examples of two different animals revealing similar traits in the same environment. One of the similarities of the these two marine animals is their habitat. They both live in the vast range of depth in their environment. They also have the same fin structure. They only have a single tail for propulsion and because they are both large aquatic animals. They both consume large amount of food; however, sharks hunt for their food. Whales do not have this hunting tendency. Another difference of sharks to whales is their class. Whales are mammals while sharks are fish but they both live in the ocean. Also, whales have bones while sharks have only cartilages. Unit Assessment: Identify what is asked in each item. 1.
