In this presentation, students look at the evolution of texts, including the introduction of multimedia. They then work through a series of steps that end with filming or presenting a multimedia text to their classmates.
The presentation, the writing that results, and the rubric to assess it are all a part of a larger unit for Year 5 where students learn to recognise and interpret multimodal texts while making one of their own.
