Ideas for using sounds

  • Teach history and cultures through audio.

  • Create an atmosphere.

  • Concepts - What does it mean to be a hero? The modern Spiderman and a move to show empathy for the bad guy. 

  • story telling

  • An encouragement to speak.

  • Start a discussion.

  • karaoke? and why not?

  • Teaching musical literacy: genres and instruments.

  • Sensitization and tolerance 

  • A truthful representation of the language of the street.

  • Use real life situations.

  • Create intrigue for topics that may not be popular with the individual student.

  • Translation done with the free version of the translator
