Recommendations
Key Terms & Related Objectives

When students can’t decide what type of multimodal literacies to choose, teachers can...

  • explicitly teach and model a specific type of content (e.g., storyboards, google slide presentations, etc.).

  • provide opportunities to practice the specific type of content in groups or pairs before assigning individual work.

  • provide choice boards with multimodal content that students have had opportunities to practice.


When students are not confident enough to share their multimodal content with the class, teachers can...

  • practice reading words, phrases, or paragraphs with the student.

  • allow students to work in groups with specific jobs that may not require presenting (e.g., drawing illustrations for a story that another student reads aloud).

  • allow students to choose a different kind of multimodal content.

 

  • Multimodal Content: content using more than one mode (i.e., alphabetic, aural, visual, spatial and/or gestural) to convey meaning. See also Multimodal Literacies Overview and Multimodal Literacies Examples in the Appendix.
