Non linear & Linear Writing

Miss Zue teach us about non-linear and linear writing. Non linear means the text is not in a paragraph like an essay, for example text in a table, graph and etc. It is in free form. While linear means sentences that are being write in a paragraph. 
We learned how to change non-linear to linear writing. 


Non-linear writing formula :
  1. Title
  2. Over View + Controlling Idea (OV + CI)
  3. Key Features (KFs)
  4. Prediction (P1) + Proposal(P2)
Steps that can be a guidance :
Ø  Spend 5 minutes reading the graphs/charts etc.
Ø  Make sure you understand axes.
Ø  Make sure you follow lines on graph.
Ø  Focus on the key information.
Ø  If two graphs – compare.
Ø  Think about the time period – tenses.
Ø  Vary your vocabulary.
Ø  Organize information clearly.
Ø  Write neatly.
