The dramatization process involves kids working together in the exploration of ideas. Children learn how to effectively tell stories and to write for the ear instead of the eye. There is a task for every student when it's time for production. Actors, technicians, musicians, and others to create and deliver sound effects on cue, will all be needed. Of particular fun is learning how to produce sound effects for audio dramas.
Students can discover the use of various household items to replicate common sounds.
For example, a comb can be used to simulate the sound of a cricket. Salt sprinkled on aluminum foil will sound like a gentle rain when recorded. The goal is to hear a sound and try to simulate that sound's unique characteristics. Also encourage kids to bring their music keyboards. Many units have synthesizer capability which can be used to generate sound effects.
