None of my items use all five modes of communication. It’s hard to find something in my backpack that moves and makes noise because most of the items are just books or little school supplies. However, each of the items have a visual aspect and a spatial aspect. This is because almost all inanimate objects are a color (visual) and have some sort of spacial aspect to them, like a design or a pattern (spatial). Other than visual and spatial, the other most used mode of communication was linguistic. Majority of my objects had a linguistic aspect to them because they had some sort of writing on them.
