Abstract

This study explores how the class novel can be taught through the mode of sound, in particular by creating soundscapes: a creative method in which a text or event is re -created solely through the use of sound. The investigation focuses on a Year 9 class making a soundscape from a passage in Hound of the Baskervilles and consequently exploring how this process created an enhanced pupil understanding of some of the novel’s key themes and ideas. The study is also careful to explore how creating soundscapes from novels can be limiting due to the regimented nature of the soundscape and its degree of removal from the original form of the novel.
