  • A multimodal text combines two or more variations of communication through either linguistic, visual, audio, gestural, or spatial means.
    • Examples of multimodal texts include picture books, webpages with audio or video, or a live performance of a play.
    • Multimodal does not mean multimedia. Multimodal engage multiple modes of communication.
  • Ultimately, students are providing analysis of the multimodal texts, but first, they should summarize without judgment.
    • Many times, students glean meaning from messages based on non-verbal elements without even realizing it.  Messages delivered verbally are still considered text, as well as the non-verbal elements of the media such as graphics, images, color choices, music choices, etc.
    • Analysis of all elements of media (including background images and text) should be taken into account.
  • A literal question is one that can be easily answered by locating information within the text.
    • Example: Where did the text originate?
    • Who or what is depicted in the text?
  • An interpretive question involves close reading and drawing conclusions based upon the reader’s interpretation of the information in the text.
    • These are not answered with opinions; rather, they require the understanding of clues within the text.
    • Example: What is the author’s purpose?

Due to recursive nature of the standards, it is essential that teachers are aware of how all objectives within and between strands work together for optimal instruction.
