Multimodal Text

We discussed today what multi-modal texts are and possible key components.







A historial narrative is a story of historical events. It is like biography or autobiography. The people and the places are true, but it is presented like a story. There is a time sequence that has feeling expressed.

Leave a comment on what key elements you need to consider in each key component that makes it effective. Consider design in multimodal texts and historical narrative features eg. Design: Text need to be clear, easy to read. Historical Narratives need to have a time sequence that can be represented with time words.
