Can you make a one-sided worksheet for 6th grade level difficulty that asks students simple short answer questions about the video linked below. https://www.ted.com/talks/evelyn_glennie_how_to_truly_listen?subtitle=en

This learning resource focuses on the concepts presented by Evelyn Glennie, a renowned percussionist who is profoundly deaf, regarding the importance of deep listening and experiencing sound beyond traditional hearing. Students will engage with her TED Talk, 'How to truly listen,' where Glennie discusses how sound encompasses more than auditory perception and emphasizes the significance of using the whole body to understand sound. The objective is for students to analyze and comprehend her ideas by responding to a series of questions that require them to articulate Glennie’s main messages and supporting details from her talk. Through these prompts, students will explore themes such as the relationship between the human body and technology, the implications of listening deeply, and the experiences of individuals with disabilities related to sound.
