Of all of these multimodal texts, the only one I had that used all five modes of communication was my YouTube app. Most of my texts however, were similar in that they encompasses visual, spatial, and linguistic modes. This fact was interesting because, although these items were similar in their modes of communication, they couldn’t be more different in real life. For example, I would never think to group a planner, lipstick, an umbrella, movie bucks, and a key fob together, but in the realm of multimodal communication they all share the same modes of communication. The two texts I found to be the most different when looking at the modes of communication were my backpack and the YouTube app because my backpack showed only two modes of communication where as my YouTube app encompassed all five modes. A pattern that stood out to me about my items was that all items that were categorized as visual were also categorized as spatial.
