Elicit non-trivial dialogue from students. Guide students to reflection and analysis of the experience. Encourage students to share their perceptions and beliefs. Summarize and review similarities and differences.

Students will be given a maximum of three minutes to play an excerpt from their recording(s).

Objective: Students will hear the different nature sounds that were collected by their peers, and will share their findings with others in the class.

Activity: Students will be given a maximum of three minutes to play an excerpt from their recording(s). Each student, however, will not tell the class the maker of each sound. Rather, the class must try to guess the sound’s producer. If they are unsuccessful, the student may then reveal the creature or phenomenon that provides the sound. The teacher will engage the students in a high-level discussion of what was heard after all recordings have been played. This discussion should include topics such as dynamics, melody and range (if any), etc.

Assessment: Students will be able to critically discuss the sounds of Nature and will gain exposure to various nature sounds.
