The document discusses reading and writing skills, defining key terms like text, hypertext, hypotext, and hyperlink. A text is a piece of written or spoken material in its primary form, from a single word to a novel. A hypotext is an original work that hypertexts derive from or relate to, like Homer's Odyssey inspiring James Joyce's Ulysses. Hypertext presents information non-linearly and allows readers to access additional context through linked references. Hyperlinks are highlighted words or buttons in a website that redirect the reader when clicked.

6. What is a text?
• A text is a piece of written or spoken material in
its primary form.
• It may be as simple as 1-2 words (such as a stop
sign) or as complex as a novel.

8. Hypertext
• Hypertext alludes, derives from, or relates to an
earlier work (hypotext). For example, James
Joyce’s Ulysses (1920) could be regarded as one
of the many hypertexts deriving from Homer’s
Odyssey (700 BC); Angela Carter’s “The Tiger’s
Bride” (1991) can be considered a hypertext
which relates to an earlier work, or hypotext, the
original fairy-story Beauty and the Beast (1740).

15. Hypertext
• Hypertext is a non-linear way to present
information and is usually accomplished using
“links.”
• Hypertext is a text displayed on a computer
display or other electronic devices with
references to other text that the reader can
immediately access.

19. Hypertext
• Hypertext allows readers to access information
particularly suited to their needs.
• Example, if a reader still needs more background
on a particular item that a text is discussing, such
as when a reader does not know a particular term
being used, the reader can choose to click/tap
that term and access a page that defines the
term and describes it.

20. “Hyperlink”

21. Hyperlink
• In a website, a hyperlink is an item like a word or
button that points to another location. When you
click on a hyperlink, it will take you to its target,
which may be a webpage, document or other
online content.
This is an example of text with a hyperlink.
