The teacher will

create a
soundscape using
a poem. In it will
be different kinds
of voice and tone
and the
background music
will be meaningful
and will have the
ability to be
analyzed
#2

The students will

listen to the
soundscape created
by the teacher and
will analyze the
voice and
background music
used in the reading
of the poem. They
will do this at home
and then will come
back together as a
class to discuss
about it

1. History

The students will

listen to a
soundscape created
by the teacher and
will take notes on it
and then they will
describe what the
soundscape is about
in a group. They will
present their
findings.
#4

The students will create

a soundscape about the
American revolution.
They should make it
sound realistic.

Students will choose

an organ of the body
and will use that
sound to create a
soundscape while
describing what it
does in words on the
screen.
Understand

Students will play a

guessing game
using soundscape.
They will listen to a
compile of sounds
and will have to say
what organ of the
body is it

Teacher will
provide an outline
of the soundscape
for the students to
follow
Students will partner
up with someone and
will help make a
soundscape
Students will listen
to the soundscape
created by the
teacher and then

will analyze and to

extend it they will
create their own
soundscape.

Reflection: This matrix was very difficult to do because there is not much variety you can do with soundscapes. It is also very hard
to pick something that will be beneficial for the students to and something where they will learn from it. I think I did that well with
the soundscape idea for life science. Having the students create a soundscape of the organs of the body and having them write
about it would help them learn about the organs. I also think that soundscapes can be fun for students to do but also can be
frustrating to find sounds to match some of the activities. The soundscape that I thought would be really cool for the students to
listen to is the one for oral expression. Having the students listen to poems with background music and voice can help them
analyze the poems tone and can be fun for the students.
