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

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.
