- Story of a Common Object
SLIDE 4
Audio Story Construct an audio story using ONLY five sound effects, and ONE spoken word. The story must have a beginning-middle-end structure and be easy-to-follow / understand when played for the class. I provide topics such as “a car crash after texting,” “a lion escapes from a zoo,” “a person gets food poisoning at the cafeteria,” etc. Students must create their own sound effects and/or find them in online sound effects libraries. Teaches:
- Basic audio editing and sound effect creation / gathering – only have to
worry about one track
- Forming a story with beginning-middle-end structure
- Thinking about creating an “audio story” – not a “story with audio.”

- Thinking of sound as an integral part of the story, not just
something you “throw into a story.”

Everyone Has a Story Interview someone about a turning point in his or her life, then tell that story by combining your words/storytelling with their first-person account (You = tell the boring parts and move the story along, them = emotional sound bites) Teaches:

- Choosing soundbites
- Telling a non-fiction narrative
