week of April 13
Fulton Unit Four: Timbre
- Take a walk through your home, yard, or neighborhood. Walk silently and listen to all the sounds you hear. Maybe you will hear birds, someone typing on a computer keyboard, or a car driving down the street. If you want an example or can't take a walk yourself, check out Ms. Holbrook's Sound Walk here https://youtu.be/3vpyvHoWW60 or watch the video below
- When you are done, make a list or draw a picture of the sounds you hear on your walk.
- Group the sounds together by timbre or quality of sound on that same piece of paper. Here are some questions to consider as you are grouping…
How could I describe the sound?
Is the sound affected by the wind or another element of nature?
Can I control the sound by moving in a different way? (For example, if I move faster or if I stomp does it affect the sound?
Do any of these sounds involve technology or something man-made?
- Turn in your paper! Scan it and share it through Teams or another platform or take a picture and send it.
