Linear and Non-Linear Text

The document discusses linear and non-linear text. Linear text follows a sequential order from beginning to end, like stories or reports. Non-linear text combines words with visual elements, so the reading path is not sequential and includes pictures, graphs, and tables. It provides examples of different types of graphs and diagrams used in non-linear text, such as histograms, line graphs, bar graphs, pie charts, venn diagrams, concept diagrams, and graphic organizers.
