Audio Stories!

These are our audio stories! We had to select music, then identify keywords that described how the music made us feel. We then wrote a short story and recorded ourselves reading them over music. We hope you enjoy listening to them as much as we enjoyed making them. Please click on the picture and it will take you to the recording.
