I think this task is well planned and engaging. It combines visual, written, and oral modes as drawing, storytelling, and reading aloud, which makes it a clear example of a multimodal activity. As mentioned in “The Nexus of Multimodality, Multimodal Literacy, and ELT". Additionally, in this planning, meaning is created through the interaction of different semiotic modes.
The meaning-making objective is clear because students use their drawings to build a story together, transforming visual ideas into written and spoken language, reinforcing these abilities in English L. It also develops multimodal literacy by asking learners to design, interpret, and share meaning in several ways.
Finally, the focus on cohesion, coherence, and pronunciation connects well with the main skills (writing, reading, and speaking), and the use of MyStoryBook makes use of digital tools as suggested. Overall, it’s an effective multimodal task that integrates grammar, creativity, and communication.
Hi Daniela, I have to admit that the exercise was a little challenging as I don't see myself as an artsy person; however, I think this was an interesting activity that allow for more than just plain writing, which can make the assignment feel more dynamic and interesting.
Hi Sebastian, the focus of my activity is to train communication skills, so don't worry if you doubt of your artistic abilities. Thank you for your comment.

Thank you for your comment Leslie. It make me happy to know that you liked my proposal of a multimodal activity.
