FOCUS OUTCOME: Science and Technology: LT S2.3 Identifies and describes the structure and function of living things and ways in which living things interact with other living things and their environment.
RATIONALE: Exploration of the Human Body allows students opportunities for using appropriate technical language in a variety of contexts rather than the typical textbook. The multimodal literacy approach is highly effective in teaching science and technology because it allows students to see a concept through different lens of visual and written. The constant aim of science and technology and indeed any subject is to transfer knowledge into the real world and a multimodal approach ensures that learning takes place in a meaningful holistic way, that is not limited to only textbooks. Not only is the multimodal approach conducive to learning science and technology, many resources within the KLA are also good resources for looking at different written and visual grammar aspects.
