Talking Photograph

Assignment: Talking Photograph

Uses in the classroom: Using a copyright-friendly photograph (which includes one of your own taking) and Fotobabble, students will create a short presentation describing their instrument to a beginning band student or parent. Students will write a script quickly describing the instrument physically, compare and contrast the instrument with others, and explaining what makes the instrument fun to play.

Issues to consider: You will need a computer with a microphone or a smart phone and the Fotobabble app. You will only have 60 seconds of audio so be concise in your script. This is only a BRIEF clip so say your information and move on to the next piece. You cannot edit audio so having your script in front of you is recommended.

Example: The following example about the kazoo is included here for your help.
