BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Gather a few things.
This sheet, pencil, a quiet spot indoors or out, a timer.
One useful question
Which sound was a surprise? Which one was far away?
WHY THIS WORKS
A little more than a worksheet.
Listening closely is a kind of observing.
Make it gentler
Listen for one minute. Point to the picture or sound instead of writing.
Add a little stretch
Do the survey in two places (inside and outside) and compare totals.
A good place to stop
Try it again tomorrow at a different time.
