Teacher Insights 

Defining Multimodal Literacy by Dr. Craig Hill (video)
  • 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, web pages with audio or video, or a live performance of a play.

  • A creator’s intended purpose can take many forms. For example, propaganda or advertising will be manipulative while informative writing will be more straightforward.

  • 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?

  • Applied questions are predominantly opinion questions usually connected to the real world. These questions can be difficult to assess since there is not a right or wrong answer, but the students need to have textual support for their opinion.

    • Examples: What impact does this text have in your life? How would this text be different if an audio component were added?

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.
