Voice

I propose this activity to work it in class and respect the shifts from Word and tone of voice.

Your voice is unique. It has a sound like

nothing else. It also has the ability to go

from a very soft, quiet level to a very loud

level. If you talk too quietly, it can be

difficul to people to hear understand

what you are saying. But, if you talk too

loudly, it can bother other people and

make it difficult for them to listen to you.

It is important to have good voice control.

This means that you try to keep the

loudness of your voice at a good level.

Sometimes, it helps to think of your voice

as a thermometer. When you are calm and

cool, your voice volume is low. But, as you

become upset or excited, your voice

volume tends to rise just like a

thermometer.

It is helpful to practice having good

volume control. Develop a “signal” with

your parent or teacher, so that when your

voice is getting too loud or too soft, they

can “signal” you. This will help you to know

how to adjust your voice to an appropriate

volume level.
