Sounds of Nature JOURNALING PROMPT

TIME YOU WILL NEED:

  • 15 Minutes

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

  • Journal or Paper
  • Pencil  
  • Headphones (best for listening to the video)
  • Sounds of the Park Video  ​

INSTRUCTIONS:

In the Sounds of the Park Video, students will listen to sound clips of Schenley Park in the morning, afternoon, and evening.  
From timestamp 5:00 to 9:00 close your eyes and focus on what you hear. Spend the rest of the video journaling about what you notice about the sounds. Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy Intern Kirsti poses several things to consider while listening. For this journaling activity we will focus on:  

  • What sounds are you hearing that are strange? 
  • What sounds are you hearing that are familiar?
