Just started11年级标准和Advanced英语Module A: Contemporary Possibilities和have to study a multimodal text but have no idea what it is?
不要流汗！
We’re going to explain what exactly a multimodal text is, give you some examples of multimodal texts and teach you how to respond to one and get thatBand 6 in HSC English!
那你还在等什么？让我们潜入！
What is a ‘Multimodal Text?’
How to Respond to a Multimodal Text
What is a ‘Multimodal Text?’
Put simply, a multimodal text is a以多种方式传达意义的文本, so any text whichincorporates more than one of these kinds of communicationis multimodal.
例如，电影可以集中在“当代可能性”中，因为它使用表示（视觉图像）的模式并进行交流。
但是，您有可能研究更复杂的东西：例如，英国广播公司的“夏洛克”在NESA的样本单元中作为焦点文本给出，因为以及通过语音和图像进行交流，它还与印刷品，社交媒体的存在和blog它的创造者出版了。
为什么准备多模式文本很重要？
While there’s a chance you could be prescribed a film,您仍然需要了解多模式的含义。
NESA对当代可能性的描述包括学生的段落“分析和解释作曲家使用和操纵各种听觉，语言和视觉设备的方式，以塑造我们对我们听，阅读或查看的内容的理解，并可能探索混合性和互文性的概念。”
‘Hybridity’只是意味着通过多种通信模式创建的含义，‘intertextuality’ means the use of another text within a text.
The new Preliminary HSC and HSC courses are designed for a changing world where new kinds of technology are giving creators new ways to express meaning.It’s therefore in your best interests to become aware of how different kinds of communication can affect how texts are received and interacted with.
要熟悉不同的多模式文本，请查看以下示例：
Junko’s Story: Surviving Hiroshima’s Atomic Bomb
Australian War Memorial(This one’s NESA approved — it used to be a prescribed text for Year Twelve!)
How to Respond to a Multimodal Text
对于多模式文本，您可能需要address both visual techniques and literary techniques，因为大多数示例都使用。
但是，还有其他元素是多模式文本所特有的，例如它们的潜在互动性质。
For the best analysis, you will need to likely need to think about what a multimodal text does that would not be possible if it weren’t for its use of multiple modes.
If you need to brush up on your visual and literary techniques, we’ve published great cheat-sheets for both! Find the visual technique cheat-sheet这里和文学技巧作弊表这里。
For an example, I’ll look at Matt Huynh’s multimedia adaptation of Nam Le’s ‘The Boat,’ available这里。
Let’s say I had to complete a task in which I had to discuss how the text’s hybrid form allows for the creation of mood.
As with other texts, you can’t go wrong with a good TEE table!
If you’re not sure what a TEE Table is or how to use one, check out our guide to TEE tables这里！
| Technique | Example | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Simile | “面子一样光滑,冷漠的陶瓷toy soldier.” | 比较比较的使用使Huynh传达了Truong由于他的痛苦和不安而感到的麻木。 |
| Salience | The blankness of Truong’s face compared to the murky grey around it. | 通过对比的显着性吸引了观众对Truong的脸部的关注，这补充了印刷描述。 |
| 互动性 | As the audience scrolls down the graphic novel, the picture consistently moves side to side. | 这种互动元素允许更大的沉浸感，因为Mai在寻找Truong时所感受到的不稳定和紧张感。 |
While this is a basic example, it highlights the grasp of ‘hybridity’ needed in order to analyse a multimodal text: I’ve discussed how different modes (visual and print) have been used together in order to create an atmosphere of unease and tension.
I’ve also discussed the interactive element of the text, which shows an understanding of this text’s uniquely multimodal properties.
现在轮到您分析多模式文本了！
步骤1：找到一个多模式文本！
While if you were required to find your own multimodal text, you could always use a film, it would be better to use one which will allow you to discuss its hybridity. So: you could look for an interactive graphic novel (likeThe Boat）或博物馆网站的虚拟旅行。
Check out one of the multimodal texts we listed above!
Step 2: Get Started On Creating TEE Tables
就像其他文本一样TEE tables are a great way of collating techniques and keeping a bank of evidence as you progress through your study of a text。拥有列出的证据列表也将帮助您瞥见您维护一系列模式不同的技术。
If you’re not sure how to create a TEE table is or why they’re important, check out thisguide!
步骤3：练习写作！
The best way to get better at writing is through structured, regular practise!
At the moment, there’s no previous model examples for analysis of multimodal texts, but you can’t go wrong with scrutinising the marking rubric, drafting and redrafting, being sure you answer the question, and showing an understanding of the unique opportunities for the making of meaning offered by multimodal texts.
