This lesson compares different types of information texts. It discusses linear texts, which are written with words in sequential order, and non-linear texts, which use visuals like pictures. Examples of linear texts include stories, poems, and newspaper articles. Non-linear texts include infographics, graphs, charts, and diagrams. The lesson provides examples of a linear text about linear texts and a non-linear text about how to get information from non-linear texts. It then asks questions to test understanding of text types and how to extract information from non-linear texts.
