Making multimodal texts
Plan, create, edit and publish multimodal texts that combine writing with visual features — images, labelled diagrams, captions, headings and layout — using digital or print tools, choosing visual features to suit the purpose and audience
Lesson
Set out your lesson
“Making multimodal texts means practising the idea at the table with a short text or prompt and one clear check. We will demo once, then your child tries.”
Bring to the table
- Paper and pencil
- A short prompt or mentor sentence
Extra for the adult
Worked example. Prompt “my pet”: “My dog sleeps on the red rug.”
Optional challenge. For Making multimodal texts, add one harder example after success.
What to notice. Keep one parent note: examples tried; results; support used. This session samples Making multimodal texts, not mastery.

Check understanding
- Create a digital slide, poster or e-book page that combines a short informative paragraph with a labelled diagram and a caption
- Choose images, font sizes and layout in a digital tool to suit a persuasive purpose (e.g. a poster for the school fete) and explain the choices
- Publish a picture-book page where the illustration adds meaning not stated in the text, then edit both text and image after feedback
“Can your child make a poster or slide that combines writing with pictures, labels and captions — choosing a layout that suits what it's for?”
