Lesson Title: Hypertext and Intertext
Learning Competencies/Objectives: Identify the context in which a text was developed; Understand the concept of
hypertext and intertextuality; Obtain information in a customized manner through hypertext; Differentiate intertext from other
types of text development; and Appreciate hypertext and intertext as methods of text development.
General Directions: Do the given activities below. Write your answers on a one long bond paper.
Task #4.1: Read the notes inside the box. Then, do the activities that follow.
Hypertext is a non-linear way to present information and is usually accomplished using “links”. Such links help the
readers navigate further information about the topic being discussed and may also lead to other links that can direct the
readers to various options. Hypertext also allows the readers to create their own meaning out of the material given to them
and learn better associatively.
Hypertext is text displayed on a computer display or other electronic devices with references to other text that the
reader can immediately access. Hypertext documents are interconnected by hyperlinks, which are typically activated by
a mouse click, keypress set, or by touching the screen. Rather than remaining static like traditional text, hypertext makes a
dynamic organization of information possible through links and connections (called hyperlink).
Task #4.2: In the article written by Cyndy P. dela Cruz, she stated “…it is undeniable how the power of social media has
shaped recent events”. This article was retrieved from this webpage: [Link]
