Vowel Sound Costume Project Samples and Instructions

Dear Students,
     One of the projects that I usually do in my Phonetics courses, especially if the quarter happens to be the last quarter of the year is the: Sound Costume.  I have generally asked my students to represent a Consonant Sound, but this time, as I am teaching Phonetics 2, I am asking you to represent a vowel sound.
Remember that you have to:
1.  Select a vowel sound.
2.  Think of a character / Costume that could represent the sound. For example:  Black Cat.
3. Create a slogan of 3-5 lines for your character using mainly words with the vowel sound. For example:  I am a Black Cat. I have a hat. I killed rats... etc".  Try to use as many words as you can.
4.  Be creative and original.
Here are some of my former students pictures (hopefully, they don't mind I post their pictures here)

Please write your comments and questions on the comment section below.

See you in class!
Prof. Ramos
