Age Group: High school students in groups of 3-5
Time: 3 hours or 3 class sessions
Objective: Students will learn to use storytelling, sound editing, and non-visual means of expression.
Materials: Audio recorders (possibly smart phones), paper, pens, sound editing software
Activity: Students will choose a classic fairytale (e.g. The Three Little Pigs, Hansel and Gretel). Students will then map out the story and record audio including narration and sound fx. The students will then edit the audio into a 10-15 minute track.
Questions: What was the most challenging part of the project? Was it difficult to create a vibrant narrative using only audio? Did you use the editing software to change the original recorded sounds and did that affect the project?
That's a nice idea; students will be able to relate to the project because they know these stories.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if that works with younger students, too? What do you think.
