Big idea
Hearing a few notes of sound can transport us back in time to an important moment or take us to faraway places that we find comforting. It is generally recognised that sight and sound are relied upon more heavily than the other senses. Think of the effect sound has on the emotional reaction to watching a film.
Sound is often the first indication of an emergency. Essentially, sound is an underutilised tool in the classroom. By taking away the sense of sight for a moment and allowing students to focus on the sounds themselves, we allow students to use their creative imaginations to visualise situations and travel back in time and all across the globe.
