Multimodal
Texts
Multimodal texts include picture books, text books, graphic novels, comics,
and posters, where meaning is conveyed to the reader through varying
combinations of visual (still image) written language, and spatial modes.
Multimodal is the combination of two or more of these modes to create
meaning.
Most of the texts that we use are multimodal, including picture books, text
books, graphic novels, films, e-posters, web pages, and oral storytelling as they
require different modes to be used to make meaning. (Victoria State Government, 2019)
Types of multim​​odal
texts
Multimodality do​​es not necessarily mean use of technology, and multimodal texts
can be paper-based, live, or digital.

Paper-​​based multimodal texts include picture books, text books, graphic novels,
comics, and posters.

Live ​multimodal texts, for example, dance, performance, and oral storytelling,
convey meaning through combinations of various modes such as gestural, spatial,
audio, and oral language.

Digital multimodal texts include film, animation, slide shows, e-posters, digital
stories, podcasts, and we​​b pages that may include hyperlinks to external
pronunciation guides or translations. (education.vic.au.,n.d.)
