As our technology progresses, our ways of communicating also levels up. What makes it easier is because of multimodal texts. The ways in which we communicate with each other in today’s world are wide ranging. We live in a time where politicians tweet national policy announcements, a YouTuber can have more than 75 million subscribers from around the world, and pre-teen children communicate using images on Instagram. 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. Whenever we combine these modes to create a meaning, we also create multimodal texts. A 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. The ability to compare and contrast multimodal texts is one of the first higher-order reading comprehension skills for all. It has its uses far beyond the classroom. With practical applications 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- making. However, when we discuss these terms in relation to reading skills, they have much more specific meanings. Compare, in relation to reading, refers to the process of identifying the similarities and differences between two things. On the other hand, contrast refers to identifying only the differences between two things (Mac Donnchaidh, 2015). It is important that we can accurately differentiate between the two concepts to ensure we are able to answer questions and prompts. WBLS-OBE MELC-Aligned Self-Learning Module English 8 6 What’s New Read the plot synopsis of the movie Voice of Silence with the accompanying poster and answer the following questions after. Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff Tae-In (Yoo Ah-In) and Chang-Bok (Yoo Jae-Myung) work for crime organizations. Their job is to clean up messes left by the crime groups. They Image: (goldencinemapictures 2020) carry out their jobs diligently and professionally. One day, they are hired for a job by their client Yong- Seok. This leads Tae-In and Chang-Bok to discover 11-year-old Cho-Hee, who was kidnapped. The next day, they want to take Cho-Hee to Yong-Seok, but Yong-Seok is found dead. Tae-In and Chang-Bok find themselves in an unexpected situation. 1. What is the text all about? 2. How did the text help you understand the movie poster? 3. Which element is more helpful in conveying information to the readers, the written text or the movie poster? Why? Explain your answer. What is It With the advent of social media nowadays, creating and posting multimodal texts is an increasingly common practice in any platform. Multimodal texts include posters, storyboards, oral presentations, picture books, comic strips, brochures, slide shows (PowerPoint), blogs, and podcasts. More complex digital multimodal text productions include web pages, digital stories, interactive stories, memes, animation, and film. Creative makers of such need to be able to effectively create multimodal texts for different purposes and audiences. To do this, one needs to know how meaning is conveyed through the various modes used in the text, as well as how multiple modes work together in different ways to convey the story or the information to be communicated. The following overview of how meaning can be composed through different semiotic resources for each mode (spoken language, written language, visual, audio, gestural, and spatial) is informed by The New London Group (2000), Cope and Kalantzis, (2009), and WBLS-OBE MELC-Aligned Self-Learning Module English 8 7 Kalantzis, Cope, Chan, and Dalley-Trim (2016). EAL/D learners engage with all of these meaning-making practices through multicultural and/or multilingual lens. Here is a sample of a multimodal printed poster on how meaning can be composed. WBLS-OBE MELC-Aligned Self-Learning Module English 8 8 Let us look at the types of multimodal texts. A. Paper-based multimodal texts include picture books, textbooks, comic strips, graphic novels, and posters. 1. Comics/ Graphic Novels Comics strip is series of adjacent drawn images, usually arranged horizontally, that are designed to be read as a narrative or a chronological sequence. Words may be introduced within or near each image, or they may be dispensed with altogether. The comic strip is essentially a mass medium, printed in a magazine, a newspaper, or a book. The definition of comic strip as essentially containing text inscribed within “balloons” inside the picture frame aspires to a certain orthodoxy in the United States, but it is unworkable and would exclude most strips created before about 1900 and many since. The term graphic novel is now established for the longer and more novel-like coherent story, and the term sequential art is also in use. (“Comic Strip | Definition, History, Examples, & Facts,” n.d.). Comics contains speech bubble which speech contains words that are spoken aloud, while a thought bubble bubble thought bubble contains words, ideas, or pictures that are in someone's brain. 2. Posters It is usually large, printed sheet that often contains pictures and is posted in a public place (as to promote something). (“Definition of POSTER,” n.d.) When used correctly, posters can catch the eyes of people and make them aware of a product or service that they wouldn't otherwise have known about. This powerful ability to stick in people's minds can have huge advantages for small to medium businesses looking to create brand awareness or promote information dissemination. WBLS-OBE MELC-Aligned Self-Learning Module English 8 9 B. 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. 1. Gestural A gesture is a form of non-verbal communication or non-vocal communication in which visible bodily actions communicate particular messages, either in place of, or in conjunction with, speech. Gestures include movement of the hands, face, or other parts of the body. (“Gesture” 2020). Examples of communicative gestures are waving, saluting, handshakes, pointing, or a thumbs up. There are voluntary and involuntary gestures. Waving to a friend would be an intentional method of saying hello, while throwing one's arms up in exasperation may be an involuntary reaction to feelings of frustration or anger. C. Digital multimodal texts include film, animation, slide shows, e-posters, digital stories, podcasts, YouTube, and web pages that may include hyperlinks to external pronunciation guides or translations. (“Overview of Multimodal Literacy” 2019) 1. Animation It is a method in which figures are manipulated to appear as moving images. In traditional animation, images are drawn or painted by hand on transparent celluloid sheets to be photographed and exhibited on film. Today, most animations are made with computer- generated imagery (CGI). Computer animation can be very detailed 3D animation, while 2D computer animation can be used for stylistic reasons, low bandwidth, or faster real-time renderings. Other common animation methods apply a stop motion technique to two and three-dimensional objects like paper cutouts, puppets, or clay figures. (“Animation” 2021) WBLS-OBE MELC-Aligned Self-Learning Module English 8 10 2. Podcasts This is a digital audio file made available on the internet for downloading to a computer or mobile device, typically available as a series, new installments of which can be received by subscribers automatically. (“What Is A Podcast And How Do They Work?,” n.d.) 3. YouTube Youtube can be used for all age groups and its purpose in this example is to teach students how to do fractions in a fast interactive way and is beneficial for those have difficulty. Learners are able to see what they are doing and gives them a better understanding than those who are just merely listening. In this digital text, there is a variety of different modalities that are used to give the viewer an understanding about fractions. The video displays the linguistic element combined with the visual and audio elements making it a multimodal system as there are “different modes of communication working together without one being dominant,” (Burke and Rowsell, 2009). The linguistic modality uses written language to write out step by step how to do fractions for the viewers to see. The visual aspect is also used by having a “moving image,” (Anstey & Bull, 2006) to show what they are talking about, and this can be very beneficial to those who are visual learners. The audio aspect uses “sound effects,” (Anstey & Bull, 2006) of their voice to communicate with the viewer which helps them to explain what they are talking about.

Web Page A web page is a document which can be displayed in a web browser such as Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, Microsoft Internet Explorer or Edge, or Apple's Safari. These are also often called just "pages" website. A collection of web pages which are grouped together and usually connected together in various ways. (“What Is the Difference between Webpage, Website, Web Server, and Search Engine?” 2019) On a digital platform such as the YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc., the reader determines, among other things, when to click on videos or hyperlinks, how long to stray from the initial text, and whether and how to pass the information along to others. Always remember, think before you click! Below is the webpage of DepEd Commons, an online educational platform which can be accessed at https://commons.deped.gov.ph created by the department for public and private school teachers and learners which supports distance learning, and was being developed even before COVID-19 pandemic hit the country. These are just some popular examples of multimodal texts we often encounter anywhere we go, online or offline. Now that you know some examples of multimodal texts and its purposes, be ready for you are going to compare and contrast the presentation of same topic in different multimodal texts. WBLS-OBE MELC-Aligned Self-Learning Module English 8 12 What’s More Activity 1: Compare and Contrast Direction: During the first week of Quarter 2, you have seen these digital posters and digital texts as sample multimodal texts. Compare and contrast the two multimodal texts about COVID19 using a Venn diagram. A. E- Poster B. Digital Text- Web Page The pandemic has affected us tremendously and whenever we go, we are always at high risk of contracting the Covid- 19 virus. To avoid the virus, we can do the following: first, wash our hands for 20 seconds or more with soap and water. Second, when coughing or sneezing, make sure to bend your elbow not your hands. Third, refrain from touching your face (eyes, nose, and mouth). Fourth, avoid attending social gatherings. If you are in a public place, Image: (WHO, 2020) make sure to main physical distance with other people of 1 meter. Also, try to distance yourself form sick person. Finally, learn to frequently disinfect things that you always use. Always remember that prevention is better than cure. A. E-Poster B. Digital Text- Web Page 1. 1. 1. 2. 2. 2.
