AP Natural Sound Character Development Project
Due: 2-5 minute natural sound based narrative piece which focuses on showing and telling someone’s story through their own words.
Assignment: Find someone in our community that is interesting, mysterious or someone who is passionate about their life. Help everyone else understand through natural sound and their unique story why they feel the way they do.
