Learner’s Tasks

Lesson Overview

Reading is more fun when there are colors, graphics, and designs. It
contributes to the reader’s understanding by widening their imagination as they
read. These are visual and multimedia elements.

Visual elements help convert a simple reading text to an adventurous tale

where readers can “see” or visualize the story. Pictures, drawings, comics and
cartoons, and diagrams are examples of visual elements. It adds meaning or tone
in fiction, folktales or poetry. Also, it can help the readers understand the message
that the image conveys and clarifies what the character is feeling or thinking
through focusing on these elements.

Multimedia elements means that computer information can be presented

through audio, video and animation in addition to the traditional media (i.e., text,
graphics of drawing, images). It helps the reader understand the text in a whole
new level since it uses sight, sound, and other senses to experience what they’re
reading first hand. It also uses a variety of combination with its medium. It can be
used in a digital form through computers, audio layers, tablets, smartphones, and
other technology.

Multimedia elements include video, audio recordings and sound effects,

interactive images where readers may click the images or words to learn more
information about them, including how the word sounds, its definition, and
important facts.

Visual and Multimedia elements can help the readers in many ways. Let us
see the ways it can do so.

1. Clarifying the Meaning of a text – visual elements can guide the readers
in understanding the vocabulary being used in the text.

1
 One example is the term, “Bakunawa” which we can hear in the folktales
of our grandparents. According to the text, it is a monstrous dragon which
appears during full moon to eat the moon causing a lunar eclipse. A picture that
supports the text read can help in making the description more vivid. Take a look
at this.
Once upon a time, there were lots of moons in the sky. However, a giant
sea serpent named “Bakunawa” tried to eat them all leaving only one
moon that we see today.

A video presentation can also clarify the meaning of the text by letting us
see the facial expressions and body language of the characters used in the text.
It can also help us understand the sequence of events in the text and help us
properly visualize what happened in a certain situation.

An example is the video representation of the movie, “Anak”(2000) made

by Star Cinema.

This clearly show us how great a mother’s love is for her child.

2
 Videos also help us relate and connect the sequence of the story.

Audio recordings of characters’ voices in multimedia can clarify the

meaning of a character’s words. Just by hearing how the lines are delivered, you
can tell how the character feels. The tone of voice by the narration also gives off
the overall aura or theme of the text read. Horror movies are often narrated with
a deep mysterious voice which is a completer opposite of a perky, high-pitched
tone you can hear when hearing a comedy story.

2. Communicating Tone – visual and multimedia elements reflect the writer’s

attitude towards the text. The writer’s tone gives a hint of how the story is all
about. The narration of the story varies depending how the writer wants to
portray it. It could be happy, sad, serious, comical, angry, etc.

There are different ways to let the readers know the tone of the text. For
visual elements, pictures with light background often represents comical, happy,
and light stories. However, dark background with fuzzy images gives off the
mysterious tone for serious, sad, or horror stories.
These images clearly compare them.

Audio recordings also sets the tone of the story. You may have probably
experienced having goosebumps while listening to a narrator’s voice while
entering an unknown open gate inside the forest.

2. Enhancing Imagery – writers use narration to effectively describe the

scenery of the story. Imagery is the language used by writers to properly describe
a certain scene, appearance, or things which you can imagine based on the
description. Visual and multimedia elements are really helpful since it is letting us
see and somewhat experience what the author is describing in his story. It
reinforces imagery.

Let us go back to how the Bakunawa is being described. The author

describes it to be a giant serpent, with a big mouth, it has whiskers, and it can eat
the moon. This description is enough for us to imagine how enormous this creature

is. Through the help of visual elements such as drawing, or graphics, we can
clearly see Bakunawa coming to life from the text.

We can also imagine the bapor tabo described by Jose Rizal in his famous
novel called, “El Filibusterismo”.
