The concept is if you plugged something like a microphone, moniters? etc? what would you hear?
Obviously I dont know the answer to that question, but I think I made a pretty good guess.
Another thing we had to do was say nothing for a minute and 30 seconds and write a list of what you hear.
This was really fascinating and quite peaceful.
Then we took some of the sentences from Peters poem and re wrote them into our poem.
Here it is
With a Microphone plugged into the earth we can hear water gushing through pipes, dirt falling from tunnel walls, landing in the water flow. Up through the dirt we can hear wind tumbling down and around through trees. The slight ringing of air. When we take our headphones off we can hear earths huge silence listening back.
Hi Bluebell Blands poem is great isn’t it. 😃 I liked some of the words you used gushing and tumbling are great verbs to describe How the the wind and water were moving.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the earth listened to us here in Christchurch what it would hear?
Hi Jane. That is a strange thought. I think it would probably hear cars and people. maybe they would be able to hear people in our school?
DeleteI like doing listening exercises too. Sometimes I try and concentrate on listening to things that are very far away - to see how far I can 'go'. Then I like listening to things that are very close, like my own breath and sometimes even the beating of my own heart. Although do I just imagine that I can hear that?
