QUESTION 1
Multimodal storytelling entails telling a tale through a variety of media in addition to words. It's the
notion that a narrative can be communicated using a variety of formats or channels, including text,
images, sounds, and even interactive elements. In order to engage different senses and improve the
overall storytelling experience, it's about combining different forms of media to create a richer, more
immersive experience. As a result, to create a more engaging story, you might combine visual, audio,
and possibly even interactive elements.
QUESTION 2
2.1 Relevance to Children's Lives:
• Reason: Because this poem deals with topics and circumstances that young readers can
identify with, it satisfies this tip. Many children's experiences can be related to the idea of
being small and dealing with difficulties. Children can understand the straightforward story
and make connections to it in their own lives by choosing to face their fears or explore the
world in search of something better.
Visual Appeal:
• Reason: The poem's visual appeal is improved by the addition of an accompanying image.
Children are drawn to images frequently, and in this instance the image adds still more level
to the narrative. The poetry is made more engaging and helps young learners envision the
story, making it a more memorable and delightful experience. It's not just about the words,
though.
2.2 The reading of this poem would be made into a fun activity in a Foundation Phase classroom, in
my opinion. I'd start by urging the kids to sit in a circle to foster a sense of community and
engagement. I would ask them to perform the acts that corresponded to each verse as I read it. The
kids may, for instance, act like little mice stooping down when it was mentioned that they were
hidden inside a little house. They might mimic the activity of searching or even take fictitious steps
when the poem mentions looking for cheese. Children might act out the lines about bravery and
meeting the cat by pretending to wear elaborate hats and swords before fearlessly advancing.
Through movement and imagination, this interactive technique not only brings the poetry to life but
, also engages students' various learning preferences. Additionally, it promotes a happy and
encouraging learning environment in the classroom where kids are free to express themselves.
2.3 Together, the words and artwork effectively communicate the poem's message. The text sets up
the story of a little mouse who must decide whether to stay concealed or go in search of more. A
mouse wearing a fancy hat and sword, prepared to face the cat, is shown in the accompanying image
to visually support this narrative. The concepts of bravery, adventure, and the decision to forge forth
into the unknown are further supported by the visual image. The artwork makes the poetry more
approachable, especially for young learners, by giving the poem's message a tangible and vivid
representation. Words and images work together to increase the overall impact, resulting in a
seamless, immersive experience that appeals to both linguistic and visual understanding.
