This project was deffinatly one that I enjoyed making. Our topic was sound and we decided to make an audio recording like we heard in "This American Life". We started out with a sound map that we made in class. We wrote down music, language, singing, ringtones, noises, videos, and voices/conversations because that is what we expected we would hear when we went and did our sound mapping. Next we went to the student union and wrote down everything we heard. We also included interviews where all three of us each interviewed someone. once we had all of these components together we went back to the student union to recap everything we had learned over the process of completing this project. I personally learned that sound differs in different cultures and that what we are used to around us might not be what others are used to. Also we dont really realize all the sounds around us. we only focus on what we want to hear.

I really enjoyed your project. I observed through both class interactions and the final product how well your group worked together and the thoughtfulness put into the crafting of your media and ideas shared through it.
