Thursday reading task: cloze passage

1. Focus Word: ECHOES What other words come to mind when you think about the word, echoes? Create a

brainstorm of any other vocabulary you relate to this.

2. Read ‘What makes an echo’ cloze passage. Using your own vocabulary knowledge,

select the most suitable vocabulary choices to complete the text.

EXTENSION

1. Add alternate words that maintain meaning. A thesaurus could help here.

2. Design your own cloze passages to share with a partner. Choose to remove

vocabulary that will allow the reader to maintain meaning, for example, words such

as ‘interesting’ or ‘event’ rather than simple words such as ‘the’ or ‘and’.

Appendix 6 Student copy: Cloze passage What makes an echo? Noel Hanna The conversation (Curious Kids), December 2019

What is a sound?

What we call “sound” is really just the air in our ears ______________________ back and forth.

The air can move fast or slow. We can ______________________ air moving back and forth between 20

and 20,000 times per second. That’s really, really ______________________ ! (For the grownups reading

right now, human hearing is from about 20 - 20,000 Hertz, which means repetitions per second).

But did you know that there are faster and slower air movements that can be heard by other animals, but not

people?

Where does sound come from?

If we hear the air moving in our ears, where did that moving air come from?

A sound can come from anything that ______________________ or moves back and forth.

It could start with the moving string of a ______________________ or the vocal folds in your voice box that

move when you speak or sing.

Once the air starts to move, it travels in all ______________________ until it finds something to stop it.

Bounce back!

When sound travelling in air (we call this a sound wave) hits a hard flat ______________________ , like a

tiled bathroom wall, most of it ______________________ back. Maybe this is why people like to sing in the

shower.

But to get a really good ______________________ , that sounds the same as the original sound, we need a

very big bathroom, or another very big, hard-walled place – like a valley or a canyon!

For a sound to bounce back and make an echo, there has to be a lot of space between the sound source

and the thing (wall or mountain) that it hits and bounces ______________________ .

Why? Because it takes ______________________ for the sound to come back as an echo. If there’s no big

space, it won’t sound like an echo because the sound that comes back will get mixed up with the original

sound.

Noticing changes in the sound can still be useful. Some animals like bats and dolphins, and even some

children, can use this to tell where they are. This is called “echolocation”.

So if you don’t have a very large bathroom, you may want to try a bushwalk in a valley, or perhaps an

underground carpark to find your ______________________ .
