MULTIMODAL TEXTS
• A multimodal document is one in
which the meaning is conveyed by
multiple modes, such as written
text, audio, still images, moving
images, motion, use of space, and
so on. Photos, slideshows, and
web sites are examples of digital
multimodal texts, while theater,
storytelling, and dancing are
examples of live multimodal texts.
 VIEWING
Viewing is defined as an active
process of attending and
comprehending visual media, such as
television, advertising images, films,
diagrams, symbols, photographs,
videos, drama, drawings, sculpture,
and paintings.
 VIEWING

It is necessary to remember that the

viewing process is just as crucial as
the listening and reading processes.
You should be aware that effective,
engaged viewers go through the
following steps:
 VIEWING
1. Pre-viewing - You prepare to view
by activating your schema (the prior
knowledge you bring to the study of a
topic or theme), anticipating a
message, predicting, speculating,
asking questions, and setting a
purpose for viewing.
 VIEWING
2. During viewing - You view the visual text to
understand the message by seeking and checking
understanding, making connections, making and
confirming predictions and inferences,
interpreting and summarizing, pausing and
reviewing, and analyzing and evaluating. Your
understanding should be monitored by
connecting to your schema, questioning, and
reflecting.
 VIEWING

3. After viewing - You are given

opportunities to respond to visual
texts in an intimate, critical, and
creative way. You respond by
reflecting, analyzing, evaluating, and
creating.
