Directions: Each player is one part in a huge machine, and decide silently what noise their own particular machine part makes. When everyone is ready, all begin making their noise at the same time. Afterwards, discuss collectively what shape, function, and origin this machine might have. Once the discussion has ended, draw your idea of the machine’s form.
