Well folks, if you are looking for an incredible bedtime story with wildlife sounds, dragons and an army of squirrels . . . listen to this story created by 2nd-5th graders at our Animal Audio summer class with Portland Saturday Academy. Just click the little arrow above to hear the story. The class was a sound-filled week – identifying animal sounds, making animal sounds with our voices, building animal sound crafts (turning a straw into a duck call), and learning about using sounds to tell a story. We analyzed some our movies to see how we used sounds to help tell our wildlife stories – from actual animal calls to voices to sound effects. The kids had a “sound effects” brainstorming area where they could come up with ways to sound like things – from a woodpecker to an insect eating a leaf to a person walking on leaves.
One of the week’s highlights was creating our own class story. The kids recorded sound effects to fill in the story – and you will see they had some creative ideas.
Get ready to hear loon calls, alligator growls, porcupine grunts, chickadee calls, a barred owl call, a bullfrog call and more. And if you know us at Sisbro, we believe in happy endings, so you won’t go away disappointed. Enjoy listening to Prince Arthur’s Dragon Forest Adventure.
