Exercise 3: Dig Deeper

ACADEMIC VOCABULARY
After Reading “Daedalus and Icarus,” like most myths, teaches us a lesson. Daedalus
tells his son, “Don’t fly too close to the sun.” Since it is not likely that any of us will A theme is the central idea,
message, or purpose of a

literary work. A metaphor is
literal lesson about how high to fly. The story of Icarus can be read as a metaphor for a comparison between two
other, more realistic situations we might face. unlike things in which one
thing is spoken of as if it
were another.
 In the story, Icarus thinks to himself “I’m the first boy who ever fly! I’m making history!”
Icarus also says to the sun, “I can fly just as high as you! Higher even!” What does this dialogue illustrate about
the character of Icarus? How could this relate to the story’s theme?

 Daedalus repeatedly warns Icarus not to fly too high, advice that Icarus thoughtlessly ignores. What might be
the story saying about the relationship between parents and children?

 Sometimes critics of scientific development and rapid technological change bring up the story of Daedalus
and Icarus as a warning about the dangers of reckless science taking humans into areas where they
might not belong. Explain how this story might illustrate the idea of the dangers of technology and
scientific progress.

 How can you relate the story of Icarus and Daedalus to the current situation that we have facing in
this pandemic time?

Exercise 4: In your Own Words

1. Write information about safety rule that you think is important but people often ignore in our current

LESSON 2: Linear and Nonlinear Text and Graphics Organizer

Key Terms
Well-structured nonlinear texts are as effective as conventional linear ones for learning factual information
and that they can enhance inferential reasoning are presented and discussed. It is suggested that using a
graphic device to represent the relationships between text concepts can help the reader form a coherent
view of the textual information and constrain nonlinear reading

Here are the key take away that might help you in this lesson.

 Reading path – it is the way that the text or text plus other features, can determine or order the way
we read it.
 Linear text – Type of reading that follows a straight line.
 Nonlinear text – is an interpretation of information presented graphically.
 Table – It is used in reading to examine items or to check various aspects of item at different time.
 Bar graph – Used to compare relate data.
 Line graph – Used to perceive statistical trends by presenting continuous line indicating up and down
movement.
 Pie Chart – Used to show statistical relationships between parts of a single entity.
 Flow chart – Depicts relationship between components of the projects or phases of a process.

Good job! You completed your initial task, this exercises is an example of nonlinear text.
In able for you to know more about the different nonlinear texts, it is time for you to
Learn and Work.

Are you ready? Let’s get started.

LINEAR AND NONLINEAR TEXT

A reading path is the path or the way the reader’s take through a text. There are two paths as linear and
nonlinear texts depending on this reading path. This article explains these two reading paths, providing
examples to give a clear understanding of the difference between linear and nonlinear text.

WHAT IS LINEAR TEXT

Linear text refers to traditional text that needs to be read from Give some examples of
beginning to the end. Here, the reader makes sense of the text linear 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.

WHAT IS NONLINEAR TEXT?

Nonlinear text is the opposite of linear text. As its name suggests, it Give some examples of
is nonlinear and non-sequential. In other words, the readers do not nonlinear text:
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.

It is also important to note that digital texts or electronic texts are also nonlinear texts. These texts offer an
array of constituents such as mobile and immobile pictures, hyperlinks, and, sound effects. Here also, the
reader can choose his own path of reading.

What is the difference between LINEAR AND NONLINEAR TEXT?

 MARYMOUNT ACADEMY of PARANAQUE INC.
Your Trusted Partner in Developing Effective Communicators and Successful Young Entrepreneurs

Different Types of Nonlinear Text

line graphs - line graphs are commonly use to show trends.

they are easy to read because the reader is able to identify
the trend based on the direction of the line.

bar graphs - bar graphs consist of columns or bars arranged

horizontally or vertically. Normally, they are used to show
comparison between variables. They are also used to show
the frequency of events in different classes or intervals.

Pie charts - pie charts are visual representations of information

on parts or segments as a proportion, percentage or fraction
of the whole. One can clearly see that the visual itself shows
who or which segment has the bigger piece of the pie.

tables - tables consist of facts and figures arranged in columns

and rows for quick reference. This will ease the understanding
of complicated facts and figures.

In summary, the difference between linear and nonlinear texts mainly depends on their
reading paths. Since linear texts have a sequential order, they have only one reading path.
However, nonlinear texts have multiple reading paths since they are non-sequential.

Now that you know the difference between linear and nonlinear text and the types of nonlinear
text, it’s time for you to have a self-test, refer to the picture below and write your own
understanding between linear and nonlinear text.
