Process
This activity entails two sub-levels that the teacher must download:
Find the difference - students
Find the difference - teacher
Only the “students” activity should be uploaded to the iPads of the classroom.
- The teacher plays a first sound.
- The students search for this same sound in their sound-bank.
- Once all the students have located the sound, the teacher asks how the two differ.
- Once the correct answer has been discovered, the group listens again to the two sounds, making sure that each student recognizes the difference and the nature of the manipulation in question.
