B.2 Presentation of the lesson

After the allotted time in sharing ideas, teacher will discuss about the Linear and Non-
linear Text.
Based on our activity, the pictures on group A are linear texts, on the other hand, the pictures on
group B are non-linear texts.

The main difference between the two lies in the way the text is read or processed by an
individual. The experts call this pattern of reading a material as reading path. Let us differentiate
linear text from non-linear texts using the table below.

TRANSCODING LINEAR TO NON-LINEAR TEXTS AND VICE VERSA

To transcode means to transform something from one for to another. In order to transcode a
linear to non-linear texts or the other way around, one must first be able to fully understand what
the source text is about. This way, deciding in the proper text type to be used in the transcoding
process will be easier.
Step 1. Read and understand the source text to get its 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.

Example:
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
1
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 illness in some people. Other signs and symptoms of COVID-19, different from flue,
may include changes 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 question:
1. If the paragraph suggests similarities and differences between influenza (flu) and
COVID-19, what non-linear text should be used to illustrate its similarities and
differences?
2. Transcode the linear text into non-linear (Venn diagram) using the statements from the
paragraph.
