INTRODUCTION

EN3-7C: Thinks imaginatively,

creatively, interpretively and
critically about information and
ideas and identifies connections
between texts when responding
to and composing texts.

A multimodal text is a complex, multimodal entity that occurs in both print

and digital environments, utilizing a variety of cultural and semiotic
resources to articulate, render, represent, and communicate an array of
concepts and information (Serafini, 2014, pp.12-13).
