ELA10.6

Combine multimodal elements strategically to convey messages with clarity, emotion and intention.

Indicators for this outcome
(a) Plan multimodal compositions by selecting and intentionally combining elements (e.g., text, visuals, sound, movement) in ways that support purpose, audience, message and tone across modes (see Appendix K).
(b) Combine modes thoughtfully (e.g., visual imagery, sound effects, text, movement, narration) to guide the audience’s attention and deepen understanding (see Appendix K).
(c) Combine design features (e.g., colour palettes, font size and style, white space, transitions, image placement) to create emphasis, rhythm or emotion (see Appendix K).
(d) Reflect on how changes in one element (e.g., altering tone of voice, background visuals) influence the interpretation of other elements and the overall cohesion of the composition.
(e) Revise compositions to improve the relationship between elements, ensuring that each serves a clear purpose within the whole.
(f) Apply accessibility strategies when combining modes (e.g., using captions with video, high contrast visuals with clear text, alt-text for images) to ensure clarity, usability and inclusion for all audiences (see Appendix K).
(g) Consider cultural diversity, emotional safety and audience perspectives when making design choices, reflecting on how language, imagery and form may include, exclude or impact audiences.
