Our 2nd graders did a really interesting listening activity last week, inspired by Susan Riley at EducationCloset.com and her "Hear-Think-Wonder" strategy. We listened to this Kurt Schneider (from the group the Pentatonix) rendition of the song "Little Talks" (orginally by Of Monsters and Men). We listened first, thought about what we might be hearing (Was there one performer or more than one? What instruments were they using?), asked questions (I wonder why the high string and the low string instrument alternated the melody), and then finally watched the video to compare what we thought we had heard to what was actually happening. I promised the kids I would post the video here so they can find it easily. Enjoy!!!
