This educational module focuses on explaining visual-verbal relationships in linear and non-linear texts, specifically through expository texts, graphs, and charts. It aims for students to differentiate between these text types, interpret data, and create various graphical representations like bar graphs, pie charts, and line graphs. The module includes lesson objectives, group tasks, and rubrics for evaluating student presentations on visual data interpretation.

15. Read Me!
 Tell into the class what is talked about in the paragraph below.
Almost all Koreans live in cities, which occupy only a
small portion of the nation‘s total area. The country divides its
land by use — urban areas, managed areas, natural
preserves, and farms and forests — in order to carry out its
planning initiatives. Of the categories, urban areas take up
16.7 percent of the country, while farms and forests occupy
46.5 percent, followed by 25.6 percent for managed areas
and 11.2 percent for preserves.

16. South Korea and North Korea took dramatically different paths following
the end of fighting in the Korean War in 1953. When it comes to their economies
and living standards, they could hardly be more different. The two Koreas are
separated by the demilitarized zone, a four-kilometer wide strip running along the
38th parallel which splits the Korean peninsula roughly in half. To the south of the
DMZ, South Korea operates one of the world's most advanced economies, while to
the north its neighbor is a military dictatorship that keeps a tight fist on the
economy and has often struggled to provide enough food to its people. North
Korea's economy is isolated and tightly controlled. It is generally unable to meet
the basic needs of its people. Economists find it difficult to analyze the North
Korean economy because data is non-existent, unreliable, or outdated. South
Korea's economy is one of the world's most advanced and productive, ranking 12th
globally in terms of annual output. South Korea's economic growth depends
heavily on exports, and the nation leads the world in shipments of semiconductors
and memory chips.

18. VOCABULARY LIST
 Linear Texts – the most common type of text that need to
be read from beginning to the end. They focus on the
arrangement of words, both grammatically and
stylistically. Novels, poems, short stories, letters and
educational texts are examples of linear texts.
 Non-Linear Texts – texts with visuals or representations.
The readers do not have to go through the text in a
sequential manner in order to make sense of the text.
 Expository Texts – are designed to explain, inform and
present facts on specific topics.

21. 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.

22. Non-
Linear text

23. Non-Linear Text
A number of visual forms or non-linear
texts could be encountered in
textbooks and other reading materials.
Non-linear texts are used to present
data in an orderly way and also to
enable the readers to see large
quantities of information at a glance.

24. Non-linear texts are used to:
summarize figures
show trends
show comparisons
clarify difficult concepts
show relationships

25. Examples of non-linear texts
• Graphs
• Table
• Information Maps

26. 1. Graphs
These are the
representation of data
represented by symbols or
legends.

27. Different kinds of Graphs

28. CIRCLE GRAPH/ Pie Chart
 Meaning
A CIRCLE GRAPH is shaped like a circle. It is divided into
fractions that look like pieces of pie, so sometimes a circle
graph is called a pie graph. Many times the fractional parts
are different colors and a key explains the colors.
Pie Chart Uses:
 When you want to create and represent the
composition of something.
 It is very useful for displaying nominal or ordinal
categories of data.
 To show percentage or proportional data.
 When comparing areas of growth within a business
such as profit.
 Pie charts work best for displaying data for 3 to 7
categories
 Example
Example:
The pie chart represents the
proportion of types of transportation
used by 1000 students to go to their school.

29. BAR GRAPH
 Meaning
A BAR GRAPH uses bars to show data. The bars can
be vertical (up and down), or horizontal (across). The
data can be in words or numbers.
Bar Charts Uses:
 When you want to display data that are grouped
into nominal or ordinal categories (see nominal
vs ordinal data).
 To compare data among different categories.
 Bar graph can also show large data changes
over time.
 Example

30. HISTOGRAM
 Meaning
A HISTOGRAM shows continuous data in ordered
rectangular columns. Usually, there are no gaps between
the columns. At first glance, histograms look alike to bar
graphs. However, there is a key difference between them.
Bar Chart represents categorical data while histogram
represents continuous data.
Uses of Histogram:
 When the data is continuous.
 When you want to represent the shape of the
data‘s distribution.
 When you want to see whether the outputs of two
or more processes are different.
 To summarize large data sets graphically.
 To communicate the data distribution quickly to
others.
 Example

31. PICTOGRAPH OR A PICTOGRAM
 Meaning
The PICTOGRAPH OR A PICTOGRAM is one of the most
visually appealing types of graphs and charts that display
numerical information with the use of icons or picture symbols to
represent data sets
Pictograph Uses:
 When your audience prefers and understands better
displays that include icons and illustrations. Fun can
promote learning.
 It‘s habitual for infographics to use a pictogram.
 When you want to compare two points in an
emotionally powerful way
 Example

32. LINE GRAPH
 Meaning
A LINE GRAPH (line chart) graphically displays data that
changes continuously over time. Each line graph consists of
points that connect data to show a trend (continuous change).
Line graphs have an x-axis and a y-axis. In the most cases, time
is distributed on the horizontal axis.
Uses of line graphs:
 When you want to show trends. For example, how house
prices have increased over time.
 When you want to make predictions based on a data history
over time.
 When comparing two or more different variables, situations,
and information over a given period of time.
 Example
Example:
The line graph
shows annual
sales of a
particular
business
company for the
period of six
consecutive
years.

33. 2. Tables
They are structured for organizing and
displaying information, with data arranged in
columns and rows. Information is displayed as
text, using words and numbers, and grid lines
may be present or not. Tables make it easy to
compare pairs of related values (e.g., quarterly
sales over several years).

34. 3. Information Maps
 generic term for ways of visually representing
relationships between information, ideas and
concepts. They are sometimes called knowledge
map or graphic organizers.
Examples are circle map, spider map, Venn
diagram, tree chart, organizational chart, cause
and effect map, T-chart, timeline chart, storyboard
and concept map

35. Different Examples of
Information Maps

36. CIRCLE MAP
 The purpose of the circle map
is to brainstorm an idea or topic
using related information. A circle
map consists of a large circle
with another circle inside, where
the main topic or idea takes
center stage. Surrounding it is
the larger circle where
corresponding ideas flow.
Example:

37. SPIDER MAP
 The spider map's purpose is to
define a main topic with specific
descriptive connections. In this
instance, the center circle stems
off to other circles which
surround it, creating a visual
image of a spider. Each
connected leg and circle will
include a defining adjective or
phrase.
Example:

38. VENN DIAGRAM
 Venn diagram is great for helping
to find similarities and
differences between concepts.
 The similarities in a Venn
diagram are placed in the union
between two or more circles,
while the differences are placed
where the previous circles don‘t
meet.
Example:

39. TREE CHART
 The tree chart resembles a real
tree, and some people even
associate it with a family tree.
The topmost section is the main
title or topic, below are the
qualifiers or subtopics. Below the
subtopics, the relevant
information forms a list.
Example:

40. ORGANIZATIONAL CHART
Although it looks
similar to a tree chart,
an organizational
chart has a different
purpose. An
organizational chart is
more about hierarchy.
Example:

41. CAUSE-EFFECT MAP
 The cause and effect map
helps to figure out the
causes and effects of certain
events. The way to use it is
to start with a main event,
which fills the main central
section of the map
Example:

42. T-CHART
 It's used mainly for
comparing two topics.
The most common use
for a T-Chart is to
compare the pros and
cons of a decision that
needs to be made
Example:

43. TIMELINE CHART
 A timeline chart is a long
line representing a span
of time. All along the line,
connected shapes stem
out depicting events
happening on certain
dates. The events are
organized in
chronological order
Example:

44. STORYBOARD
A storyboard visually
looks like a simple
comic strip. The
purpose of a
storyboard is to
visualize a story with
images.
Example:

45. CONCEPT MAP
 Similar to an idea web is the concept
map. This type of graphic organizer
can analyze one single topic instead
of two or more topics at once.
 A concept map and an idea web look
very similar with circles stemming out
from the center. The difference is that
an idea web is for comparing while a
concept map is for brainstorming and
organizing
Example:

46. OPEN FORUM

47. Group work: Change is Coming!
 Make a bar graph out of the illustration below.
Infographic: The long shadow of school bullying

48. Individual Task 1:
