"Text-flow in `Snow Fall'. Paragraphs of written text move the narrative forward: they are accompanied by a short 45-second video in which Saugstad recounts the event" (Hiippala, 2016, p.16). This now also includes the image title page at the top.

This unit explores new forms of digital narrative in general, and longform journalism in particular, through the case study of an article entitled Snowfall: The Avalanche at Tunnel Creek, published in The New York Times in December 2012. This unit focuses on a variety of narrative types and concepts, including multimodality, remediation, interaction, and how these features have changed and developed with advances in internet and mobile technologies. Snowfall provides the occasion to explore multimodality through such features as parallax scrolling and the idea of creating a cognitive container to keep the reader present in the story and the reading space. This unit will be split into the following lessons:

2.1.1 Introduction
2.1.2 Multimodality, Interactivity & Remediation
2.1.2 Web 2.0: Interactivity & Parallax Scrolling
2.1.3 Digital Long Form Journalism: A New Narrative Type
2.1.4 Snowfall: The Avalanche at Tunnel Creek
2.1.5 Case Study: Wireframing Snowfall
2.1.6 Wireframing a Multimodal Narrative
