Rich+Multimodal+Task

Rich Multimodal Task ENS2.5 Describes places in the local area and other parts of Australia and explains their significance. Students will integrate their understanding of the HSIE outcome and their knowledge of visual and written literacy to design a visual representation of a significant place in Australia. Students will individually write an information report on this attraction, including a general statement about the reason for its significance, and a description about the location including different grammatical features, i.e. nouns, verbs. They will then work collaboratively to incorporate visual images which will aim to supplement the information in the written text. Students will present their written text to the class, then attach this text to large map of Australia that includes the images in each state. This whole class visual presentation will be displayed on a large wall in the classroom. (See image below for further clarification)

The students individual written text (information report on a significant place in Australia) and the visual images (pictures on each puzzle piece state) work together to create a multimodal text.
