Assignment Option Two: Make a Media Presentation Throughout this lesson, you have explored how researchers learn from and categorize calls and recorded sounds on hydrophones to better understand what they hear. Using what you know, or additional information from a variety of sources, create a media piece (such as a poster, Prezi, PowerPoint, Glogster, or other) that explores the following issue: Make a visual presentation that shows how your group chose to sort the calls from either the mixed animal group or from the killer-whale group alone. What key features did you look and listen for in your group? What would a viewer need to know about the different features of a call? In your presentation be sure to include the following: Which calls and sounds your presentation focuses on and, most importantly, why. The key features you looked for in each call and any clues you used to help you understand which whales you hear Provide examples where listening was more effective than viewing the calls and vice versa. Explore how grouping calls can help you and researchers learn about new calls.
