Abstract
In this study, we focused on the “symbols” in picture books and animations of “Tsumiki no Ie” and incorporated a comparison of multimodal texts into practice. As a result, we observed learners who evaluate and ponder their work, focusing on multimodal texts’ properties and objects. To achieve this learning, it is necessary to set a learning process that examines the “creator’s intention” through comparison of multimodal texts that have similar macrostructures but differ only in a part of the microstructure. We propose the significance of creating “a live circuit” between the creator and the learner through a comparison of multimodal texts from this learner.
