elements
How do you want
your lessons
presented?
Study slides and
Textbooks and access web links
handouts

Read and examine the infographic
provided on the screen. Then,
answer and reflect on the questions
that follow.
1. What is the
material all about?

2. What elements
make up the given
material? Do you see
pure text? Are there
photos and other
elements?
3. What do you think is
the purpose of
combining several
elements when
presenting information?

4. What do you think will

happen if an element [or
two] is [are] omitted? Will
removing an element [like
an image] affect the way
someone perceives
information?

(the author), the type of text you want to
create (the genre), and where you want to
distribute it (the medium)

-technological tools and processes

• Semiotic Knowledge -understanding

how each mode can work to convey
meaning
Essential considerations in
composing or producing effective
multimodal texts :
• Ability to Combine Various Modes

• Understanding Different Genres

_______ 2. All multimodal texts are digital in

form.
_______ 3. Print-based materials cannot
include multimodal elements.
_______ 4. Technological knowledge is
not important in multimodal compositions.
_______ 5. Slides made using
PowerPoint can be an example of a
multimodal text.
Learning Task 3:
Conduct a brief analysis on a
multimodal text presented by
responding to the questions
