What This Module is About

Reading, by far, is a very essential skill in the learning process. Being able to
understand a written text does not only concern the discipline in language but it also
encompasses all curriculum. Thus, competence it reading most likely equates to
success in the academe.

With the convergence of technology, reading is not only exclusive to written

texts like books, poems and short stories which we also call linear texts. Instead, the
use of non-linear texts such as infographics, graphs and charts are widely used all
throughout different multi-media platforms to communicate better among its
audience.

With this, our learners should be kept abreast with such advancement in
technology that has now inevitably transformed our educational system. Relatively,
this module is made to address such concern that competence in reading is not only
associated with linear texts but with non-linear texts as well.

Indeed, education is an incessant process that constantly evolves into

something more intelligible over time to be able to embrace the complexities of
society.

What I Need to Know

This lesson will help you understand what non-linear texts are thru interpreting given
data in its form.
At the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
1. Define non-linear text;
2. Interpret data presented using non-linear text; and
3. Create a visual image (non-linear text) based on a given data.

How to Learn from this Module

To achieve the objectives cited above, you are to do the following:

• Take your time reading the lessons carefully.

 1 Non-Linear Text

What’s In

Have you now noticed the difference between linear and non-linear text?

You were introduced to linear texts earlier in your previous lessons. In fact,
most lessons taught in school are often in linear texts like short stories, poems, etc.
Such texts are in paragraph form and are normally read in a systematic sequence
that is from left to right – beginning to end.

On the other hand, non-linear texts require a different approach in a sense

that it does not have a specific sequence or way of reading. It allows you, the reader,
to choose whichever way or manner of reading suits you best.

For a quick review from what you have learned in your previous lesson about
linear and non-linear text, answer the questions that follow.

Activity 1
Direction: Identify the following examples of text into linear or non-linear.
1. A script of “Le Miserables” by Victor Hugo
2. Graph showing the number of students in Junior High School by grade level
3. Aesop’s Fable
4. The story of “Moses and the Ten Commandments” from the Bible
5. Total number of students in Senior High School under the 4P’s program
presented in a pie chart

 To learn more about non-linear texts, let us try to answer the different
activities in this module designed to help you understand the lesson better.

What’s New

You have to understand that the main difference between these two is their
reading path – the manner on how we choose to read and understand a text.

Oftentimes, non-linear texts show visual presentations of data with the use of
graphs, charts, graphic organizers, story maps and flow charts. This is used to help
understand large quantities of data and show its relationship among its variables.

To get you more acquainted with the different forms of Non-Linear Texts, why
don’t we try this very simple yet informative activity?

Activity 2
Direction: Evaluate the following statements whether they are TRUE or FALSE
based on the Covid19 infographic on wearing face masks.

Source: https://firstcentral.org/from-the-health-team-mask-mastery/

1. A person who is Covid19+ can still go out and about for as long as he is wearing a
face mask.
2. If a healthy individual maintains a 6 feet distance from a Covid+ person, he will not
get infected.
3. We can be safe from getting infected from Covid+ if we stay at home.
4. There is a very low chance of infection if we maintain at least 6 feet distance from
people most especially in public places.
5. Wearing face masks protects us from the virus even if we do not practice physical
distancing.

3
 What Is It

The Covid19 infographic about wearing a face mask is an example of a Non-

Linear Text. As you can see, it has very few words in it but with the help of pictures,
it explains a lot about how spreading the virus can be decreased or even prevented
by wearing a face mask, maintaining physical distancing and of course, by staying at
home.
By now, you must have realized that being able to understand and interpret
non-linear text is important not only because it is now widely used in different social
media platforms. But more than that, it provides a much simpler and concise way of
delivering information to its readers.

What’s More

Now, let’s take our discussion a notch higher here. You see, non-linear text is
not only about graphs and flow charts where large data are summarized into tables
together with its variables. In fact, the most commonly used example of non-linear
texts nowadays also include pictures and clip arts. These are what we now call
pictographs or infographics which are usually found in information drives.
To help you understand this better, more activities are coming your way. So
brace yourself and have fun going over the remaining part of this module!

Activity 3
Direction: Study the graph and answer the questions that follow. Please use a
separate sheet of paper for your answer.

100-mark-in-covid-19-cases-davao-region-tops-with-69/

1. Based on the graphical presentation of the Age Distribution of PUI, how many
PUIs are there under the age group of 50 and above?
2. What age group/s has the most number of PUIs?
3. What age group/s has the least number of PUIs?
4. What age group/s does not have a PUI?
5. Among the total number of PUIs, 56% are female. How many are female
PUIs?
6. How many PUIs are male?
7. How many percent of the PUIs are under strict home quarantine?
8. How many percent of the PUIs are admitted in the hospital?
9. Of the total number of PUM, how many percent are cleared?
10. How many percent of the PUM are still on monitoring?

5
 What I Have Learned

Now it’s your turn to create a non-linear text.

Activity 4

Direction: Draw a pie chart of the Age Distribution of PUIs based on the graph
provided in Activity #3. Please use a separate sheet of paper for your answer.

What I Can Do

Time to level up! Tap on your artistic side and create something that could
raise an awareness during this time of pandemic not only among your classmates
but to the community as well.

Activity 5

Direction: Create an information drive using a pictograph on the importance of

personal hygiene for an information drive against Covid19. Please use a cartolina for
your illustration.

Summary

Non-linear texts are those text that are combined with visual graphics and
even pictures for easier information processing among the readers. It is commonly
used nowadays specially in different social media platforms as it is very useful in
communicating an idea.
The use of pictures in pictographs makes it not only interesting but also very
easy to understand. Thus, it is very useful in information drives as it appeals to the
people regardless of age and social background.
