This research- survey concerns multimodality and how multimodality can be used in Swedish curriculum to facilitate students in their writing process. The survey focuses on detailed and nuanced writing which are coarse goals for both Swedish- and Arts curriculum. The survey is implemented in senior high school. Students have written describing and narrational texts with different environmental descriptions. The different descriptions contain either pictures, or exclusively word-based instruction. The results may not be entirely reliable based on the small scale of the survey, yet perhaps show a tendency among students to write stories that are not self- experienced when encountering pictures in the instructional phase of the writing process. This might indicate that students observing pictures are helped with imagination as well as perhaps motivational issues. Motivation is addressed in this survey as a strong basis, which every teacher should embrace in education. The survey suggests that multimodality is ascendant in society and a necessity to navigate in a culture groaning of imagery language. Used with awareness in language education and other theoretical subjects, multimodality can be used as a source and a didactical tool. This research- survey therefore suggests interdisciplinary work between aesthetic subjects and theoretical to enrich teaching methods.
