Tone of Voice
For students who have trouble interpreting or conveying emotions through tone of voice. All you need is an audio recorder (your phone!) and you're ready to teach tone of voice.
Tone of Voice
Neurodivergent individuals often struggle with awareness of how voice intonation affects the meaning of content, so this user-friendly resource works to improve this skill by being fun for students without compromising on effectively teaching interpretation and use of vocal tone to identify and communicate a wide array of emotions.
Typically, nonverbal communication suggests body language and facial expressions, but tone of voice is also used to express and interpret both emotion and intention during social interactions. In other words, HOW you say something is often as pivotal as WHAT you are saying, which plays into why conversations via text message or email are often misinterpreted. When learners with Autism Spectrum Disorder struggle with employing and understanding tone of voice, it can be difficult to teach them to master these skills. This activity targets both interpretation and use and can be modified to best fit neurodivergent learners' needs.
