C. Analysis
 What do we call these things in the activity?
 Observe and compare the graph and flowchart from textbooks and poems.
And share your observation to the class. (In terms of reading; which is
easy to read and time allocated in each)
 What do you think is our lesson for today?

D. Abstraction
 Setting of Objectives
 The teacher will discuss about the Linear Text and Non-linear Text.
 Unlocking of Difficulties
Linear - progressing from one stage to another in a single series of
steps; sequential.
Non-linear - used to describe a process, series of events, etc. in
which one thing does not clearly or directly follow from another.

What is Linear Text?

Linear text refers to traditional text that needs to be read from beginning to the end.
Here, the reader makes sense of the text according to
the grammatical and syntactic arrangement of the words. Moreover, this type of text
has an order or sequence; it’s typically the author of the text who decides the order of
the text, or its reading path. Generally, texts printed on paper are considered as linear
texts. Novels, poems, short stories, letters, educational texts, all those texts we read
from the beginning to the end, are linear texts.

What is Nonlinear Text?

Nonlinear text is the opposite of linear text. As its name suggests, it is nonlinear and
non-sequential. In other words, the readers do not have to go through the text in a
sequential manner in order to make sense of the text. This type of text has many
reading paths since it’s the readers who decide the sequence of reading, not the
author of the text.

DIFFIRENCES OF LINEAR TEXT FROM NON-LINEAR TEXT

MOTIVE QUESTIONS:
 What is a linear text and non-linear text?
 Who can illustrate the differences of linear text from non-linear text?
 Who can give examples of linear and non-linear text?

E. Application
 The teacher will administer a 5-item pen and paper quiz. (Quiz will be
administered by the teacher by showing different objects in the class).
Directions: Identification. Identify if the object/thing is an example of Linear
Text or Non-Linear Text. Write only Linear Text or Non-Linear Text in your
paper. Write your answers in a ¼ sheet of paper. Answers Only.

 IV. EVALUATION “Venn Collage”
 The students will be group into four.
 They are going to collect pictures within the school. Pictures that are
examples of linear and non-linear text.
 After which, they will make a Venn diagram of it. Take note on the
comparison sides will be the collage pictures while on the similarity side
will be elaborated texts.
 Each group will be given enough time to finish their activity and will be
graded accordingly base on the rubric posted.
 Highest points will be 20.
