Multimodality, multisemiotics, and multiliteracies are all ways we understand material when learning information. These three terms are all apart of learning. They serve all types of communication in which we are able to understand. They are an important purposes when learning material. Each interprets material in a better sense of understanding.
Multimodal consists of our five senses. Which is pretty easy to understand because we encounter these senses- smell, see, hear, touch, taste, everyday. Multisemiotics describes multiple meanings that are offered by these modes, and multiple possible understandings that we might be able to make from these modes. While multiliteracies is when people are able to understand and use these modes to communicate to everyday life. To break it down, they are modes in which we use for communication.
McCloud is able to use many of these multimodal literacy's in his graphic novel. First off, he uses audio literacy, which makes many sounds with vivid words such as "DING-DING." He is able to make all of these sound effects. The reader is able to hear the sounds of what McCloud is trying to describe.
McCloud's use of linguistic literacy is in many words to describe his novel. Gestural literacy is used in McCloud's graphic novel with different uses of behavior. While he uses spatial literacy to help the reader connect to his novel. By using his comics the reader is easily able to understand where he is going with his graphic novel. I believe the reader is able to understand all his multimodal literacy.
By using these three modes, communication and understanding of all will be better. In the classroom, by seeing the text, a visual on the board, and communication through the teacher there will be a better understanding of the information. I find that these modes of communication would be useful to me, especially because just reading the text would not be enough information to understand the material given.
