Explain and define ‘multimodal texts’ for the purposes of your essay – you will need to demonstrate that you understand the range of texts which are ‘multimodal’ – and that they can be paper-based as well as digital or physical.
Set out and justify your view of the importance of such texts as part of pupils’ experience.
Explain and analyse the knowledge and skills pupils need to be able to read and/or write multimodal texts.
Set out and evaluate some ways that pupils might experience multimodal texts in the primary school, including a short section on their relevance in another subject area. You might do this by using an example of a specific multimodal text which could be used to teach skills in both English and another subject.
End with a short conclusion, including a statement of action for your future practice.
