Lesson 1: Analyzing how visual and multimedia elements contribute to the meaning of a text
Visual or multi-media elements can be defined as any type of graphic or sound added to communication or text. Authors include these elements in their writing – illustrations/drawings, images, charts, pictures, comics/cartoons, diagrams, and links to additional sites/information (video, audio, interactive images)
When you are reading a story, visual elements that go with the story can do several things. Just like in the previous page, the readers better understand the words in the text and increase understanding by merely analyzing the illustrations. Some visual elements are included in the text to help the readers ‘see’ what they are reading.What
can you learn from the picture? Did you see the same details about each man?
How about the purse?
Directions:
Copy the table below on a separate sheet of paper and write your answers on it.
