Sound without Sight Find a scene to observe, where you can only hear the activity, not see what is going on. You might, for example, sit in a booth at a restaurant or on a train and listen in on a conversation taking place behind you. On a sheet of paper with a line drawn down the center of the page, record everything you hear (and only what you hear) on the left side of the paper. On the right side of the paper, record what you think is going on and your ideas about what the participants may look like (ta ke a guess about their age, ethnicity, and how they are dressed). After you have done this for five minutes, take a look at the participant and the scene to see how close your guess was. Observe/listen for five minutes
