This September, we took a trip to Castillo de San Marcos National Monument! One of our two key lessons for this excursion was “Echoes of the Past.” 🔊

This lesson is especially effective when visiting a culturally significant site, like a national monument! 

⭐️We began with a historic overview of the location. For this excursion, we were given a wonderful introduction by a park ranger! 

⭐️This segued into a group discussion about soundscapes, present and past. Students considered questions like:

💡What sounds do you hear right now? Are these sounds unique to the time period? 
💡What sounds from the past are missing today? 
💡What did natives of this land hear prior-to and during the Industrial Revolution? 

⭐️To further our understanding, we discussed intrinsic and extrinsic sounds!
👂 Intrinsic sounds: cultural, historic, and natural sounds that belong within the park experience 
👂 Extrinsic sounds: sounds that do not form an essential part of the park experience

Overall takeaways for the students were how sounds influence culture and wellbeing over time!🕰️ The Castillo de San Marcos was a fantastic location for this lesson, as there were wonderful history reenactors to have conversations with. They even performed a canon firing demonstration-Talk about sounds that transport us to the past!🏰
