“…For example, Mills et al (2020) examine elementary school-aged students’ communication of attitude, finding that the students developed and used language and visual resources (e.g., speech, images, and gestures) to “inscribe and invoke emotional, ethnical, and aesthetic meanings in self-authored comic design” (p. 160). Reid and Moses (2022) explore a fourth-grader’s making of multimodal comics and find that the student’s image-text knowledge and her experience related to communicative modes (e.g., gestures, spoken language) all influenced the student’s multimodal comics composition. Similarly, Vasudevan et al (2010) conducted a storytelling study on fifth-graders’ identity construction when composing their multimodal texts and found that the introduction of multimodality provided more opportunities for the students to tell their stories “across community, home, and school contexts” (p. 448).…”
