​Whenever we communicate, we use several processes. You can either read, write, listen, view or watch, or speak. These are the things we use in communication. These processes are called MODES

How do you understand multimodal text? Define in its simplest form.

​Multimodal text

• ​conveys meaning through a combination of two or more modes.

• ​For example, a poster conveys meaning through a combination of written language, still image, and spatial design.

• ​Each mode has its own specific task and function (Kress, 2010, p. 28) in the meaning-making process, and usually carries only a part of the message in a multimodal text.

• ​In a picture book, the print and the image both contribute to the overall telling of the story but do so in different ways.

​include posters, storyboards, oral presentations, picture books, comic strips, brochures, slide shows (PowerPoint), blogs, & podcasts.

• ​The ability to compare and contrast multimodal texts is one of the first higher-order reading comprehension skills for all.

• ​

• ​In everything from choosing which food to prepare, to what clothes to pack for a special day, comparing and contrasting are requirements for much of our everyday decision.
