2. WorkedExample
Creating multimodal texts
Multimodal texts combine two or more modes such as written language, spoken
language, visual (still and moving image), audio, gestural, and spatial meaning
(The New London Group, 2000; Cope and Kalantzis, 2009). Creating digital
multimodal texts involves the use of communication technologies, however,
multimodal texts can also be paper-based or live performances.
Examples of texts to create
Below are examples of different forms of texts students might create in the
classroom. The complexity of creating texts increases proportionately with the
number of modes involved and the relationships between the various semiotic, or
meaning-making, systems in a text, as well as the use of more complicated digital
technologies.
Simple multimodal texts include comics/graphic novels, picture books,
newspapers, brochures, print advertisements, posters, storyboards, digital slide
presentations (e.g. PowerPoint), e-posters, e-books, and social media.
Meaning is conveyed to the reader through varying combinations of written
language, visual, gestural, and spatial modes.
Podcasts are also simple to produce, involving combinations of spoken language,
and audio modes.
Live multimodal texts include dance, performance, oral storytelling, and
presentations. Meaning is conveyed through combinations of various modes such
as gestural, spatial, audio, and oral language.
Complex digital multimodal texts include live-action films, animations, digital
stories, web pages, book trailers, documentaries, music videos. Meaning is

message more apparent and

5. DIALOGUE
➔ Ensure conversations sound
realistic and flow smoothly.
➔ Differentiate characters
through unique speech
patterns and vocabulary.
6. POINT OF VIEW
➔ Maintain a consistent
narrative perspective
throughout the story.
The teacher may insert
additional columns/rows
depending on the literary
elements and the nature of the
feedback.
The teacher will explain the
different types of multimodal

students can publish their
short stories or poems.

spoken language, visual (still and moving image), audio, gesture (acting), and
spatial semiotic resources. Producing these texts also requires skills with more
sophisticated digital communication technologies.

Texts
Definition
comics/grap
hic novels
a type of text combining words and images—essentially a comic,
although the term most commonly refers to a complete story
presented as a book rather than a periodical.
picture books is a book, typically for children, in which the illustrations are as
important as—or more important than—the words in telling the
story. Picture books have traditionally been 32 pages long. In
picture books, there are illustrations on every page or on one
page of every pair of facing pages.
posters a large printed picture, photograph, or notice that you stick or
pin to a wall or board, usually for decoration or to advertise
something
storyboards A storyboard is a visual representation of a film sequence and
breaks down the action into individual panels. It is a series of
ordered drawings, with camera direction, dialogue, or other
pertinent details. It sketches out how a video will unfold, shot
by shot.
social media Social media refers to a variety of technologies that facilitate the
sharing of ideas and information among their users.
Some well-known platforms are Facebook, X (formerly known as
Twitter), Instagram, and Youtube.

interactive art form. Stories can be relayed through writing or
through speaking. Oral storytelling was the first type of
storytelling and existed long before humans developed written
language.
poem
recitation
A poetry reading is a public oral recitation or performance of
poetry. Reading poetry aloud allows the reader to express their
own experience through poetry, changing the poem according to
their sensibilities. The reader uses pitch and stress, and pauses
become apparent.
podcast Podcasts are typically available as a series of prerecorded
talkradio shows that users can download to their computers or
mobile devices. Podcasters often publish episodes on a regular
schedule.
films Film, series of still photographs on film, projected in rapid
succession onto a screen by means of light. As a popular form of
mass media, film is a remarkably effective medium for
conveying drama and evoking emotion.

3. Lesson Activity: Editing and Publishing
Editing your work. After finalizing all the elements and structures of your short
story or poem, edit it to meet the specific requirements of your chosen platform.

Before publishing a multimodal
text, discuss what multimodal
text is, its types and internet
safety when publishing their
work.
Give students ample time to edit
their short story or poem.
Facilitate the activities for
editing a short story or a poem.

1. Learners’ Takeaways
Directions: Answer the following questions:
1. What key literary elements did you focus on while editing your short story
or poem?
2. How did the choice of platform influence the way you presented your short
story or poem?
3. Reflecting on this experience, how do you see the role of multimodal texts in
contemporary storytelling and communication?
2. Reflection on Learning
Directions: Recall your experience in writing an original literary text and assess
which are your strengths and areas to improve when writing. Write your answer in
this chart.
My Strengths in Writing My Areas to Improve in Writing
Let students assess themselves
to help them figure out their
strengths and weaknesses in
writing a short story or a poem.
Facilitate the insight sharing of
the students and ask them
about their experiences in
reading about the culture of an
Afro-Asian country and writing
about it through short stories
or poems.
