Intermediate (9& 10) Level Activity #6
Divide the class into groups. Each group takes one of the Phoenix
myths and devises a reading of it. One student will be selected
as the reader. The other students in the group will accompany
the reading by using their voices in interesting ways to create
a soundscape. Students need to be reminded that the soundscape
is an accompaniment and therefore, should not interfere with the
reading itself.
