⁃ I chose to document the price of gas as a multimodality in my life. With the rise in gas pricing this is literacy and understanding the world from a political level. To be able to understand what gas is and how it rises, and falls is a part of understanding our world around us.

⁃ Another form of multimodality that I chose to document in my life is how I use my social media stories to create advertisements

⁃Since I am an ambassador for my gym I use my social media to create content to promote the gym I go to and the services they offer

This is an example that I had posted this week and how learning how to use social media to communicate, work and deliver messages -which is a form of literacy we all use but have to learn

Every morning I listen to a podcast. I documented a short clip of this. Podcasts are an interesting form of multi modalities because we are listening to conversations. Podcasts can be for entertainment, education and even a form of therapy. But it can also be social if you are using a platform. This podcast was about a social problem happening today in society – touches on conversations about toxic workplaces contributing to the lack of employees in the work field (a world wide issue since the pandemic) – very interesting for anyone who wants to listen I recommend it!

Every morning when I wake up I check the weather. Reading the weather is a form of literacy. Something about this is our measuring system and being able to understand not just F and C. But to be able to understand if it will snow, what the chances are etc.

⁃ The gym is a multimodality in my life

⁃Going to the gym and learning to care for your body is something I consider as being literate – being taught health and well-being, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, self-care, for both physical and mental health etc..

⁃ I chose to also document one of my favourite recipes that I made for dinner this week. Being able to read and follow measurements and instructions contributes to being literate. Cooking for ourselves as adults is something we have to be able to do. But on a deeper context this is a culturally traditional food from my home country. So learning how to make foods from different cultures relates to learning about yourself and others through different foods that give us different experiences too. (Feel free to make it yourself, it is a Costa Rican Dish from my culture – Quinoa Stuffed Peppers and they are delicious)

⁃  I also chose to document the chickens that I have

⁃ Farming is something that I have been taught since I was a child it is rooted in who I am as a person

⁃Being able to understand how to care for animals, how to get our food (eggs) is a multimodality

⁃I included the sound of chickens because I think the way they move and how they interact with their noises is a huge component to learning about how to communicate with animals

⁃Humans communicate with animals by understanding their sounds and what they need

⁃This is another social multimodality that I chose to document in my life. With the pandemic we see a lot of these signs posted everywhere to wear your mask. This is something easy to understand about our world. But when we see a sign of inclusion that a business supports LGBTQ, Black Lives Matter, Every Child Matters and Abilities these are all deeper form of literacy. Being able to understand what these signs mean in a business is a form of literacy and it is so important. This takes being able to understand what each of these social movements represent on a social, political and historical level.
