LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET

LESSON 7: Transcoding Information

LEARNING COMPETENCY: Transcode information from linear to non-linear texts and vice-versa.(EN8RC-IIe-11)

Non-Linear Presentations/Graphic organizers are just so simple—just a few shapes and lines—yet these tools (non-linear texts) help a
lot in showing and explaining some given information easily, which sometimes linear texts (sentences and paragraphs) cannot. Presenting
information in both text (linear) and graphic (non-linear) formats is one of the most basic ways to make a lesson more understandable to all
students; and this is what this module is all about.

WARMING UP
Identify the form of the following non-linear presentations as shown below. Write the letter of the correct answer. Choices are found in the box.
A. Bar graph B. Line graph C. Pie graph
D. Table E. Venn diagram

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

LEARNING ABOUT IT
A. What is linear text?
Linear text is a text that is written in a traditional way without the aid of graphics. It is read from left to right, from beginning to end, and
has syntactic and grammatical features. It is presented in a paragraph form just like what is shown in box A. The author of the text decides the
order or sequence of the text.
Examples: Print: novels, short stories, poems, educational texts, news articles and letters.

B. What is non-linear text?

Non-linear text is represented using different kinds of graphics such as charts and graphs and other figures. It is also called non-linear
because the reader does not read it sequentially; instead the reader of the text decides the sequence in reading the text.
Examples:
A line graph is used to record and present changes in data over a period of time.

A bar graph works

similarly to a line graph. It only
differs in the use of bars of
different heights to show different
values.

Venn diagram is a diagram that consists of two overlapping circles that often show comparison and contrast.

A
pie chart
is a
circular
chart that
is divided
into fractions used to present
proportions out of the whole.
 A flowchart is a type of diagram representing a process using different
symbols containing information about steps or a sequence of events. Each of
these symbols in linked with arrows to illustrate the flow direction of the
process.
