2) Reading a story aloud with corresponding sound effects. Students will press switches to play the sound effects in the story.
The lesson aims to expose students to different ways of making sounds through co-active participation in music and technology-based sound creation activities. Student understanding and engagement will be assessed through responses to questions using AAC devices.
